[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont know why people think this is a dumb question. We have visited UVA and we also have several friends with kids there and have family with kids that went there. It is preppy and has a lot of cliques. A certain kind of kid thrives with that, but I know of two in my neighborhood who found it overbearing and they were actually quite popular in HS. In some ways it is probably. not that different than some of the Southern state schools where the girls all go out with LV handbags and is a little less obvious than that, but UVA is for sure quite preppy and less willing to accept kids in the margins. If you are comfortable at a country club, you will be fine at UVA. Its an excellent school but of all the schools we visited, it had a vibe we did not see elsewhere (my Stem kid did not like it which was not a surprise to me.) I would be ok going there because I went to a preppy private HS so I know how to navigate that, but I can see how it can be too much for a lot of kids.[/quote]
