[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter and I toured UVA last March and our tour guide said the same thing! We were so surprised to hear the tour guide being so negative about the school. She also told us that UVA was lacking in mental health resources. She said their hotline left her on hold for 30 minutes until she gave up/hung up. I have heard the negative comments about advising and know that can happen at a state school. Nevertheless, I was surprised to hear so much negativity from a tour guide.[/quote]

OP here. You just reminded me that our tour guide also mentioned that mental health resources were not good at UVA. Even said that there's a 2-year wait list for counseling. Tour guide said she hated her freshman year and wanted to leave.

Just really surprised about the tour. I was expecting to be dazzled and leave the place with DC wanting to apply to ED.

We registered for the tour on the UVA website. Maybe our tour got hijacked?

Should we tour again?

If there was a two year wait to see a psychologist, you’d see news stories about it. People would be all over the this place, college confidential, etc talking about.

You have a teenager. Can’t you chalk this up to a kid having a bad day or is your teenager perfect?[/quote]
