[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two of our daughters went to UVA from NOVA.  Both were in sororities.  They are smart, pretty, outgoing, and come from money.  They made good friends at UVA but are generally better friends with their high school friends.  Neither did much dating in college because they both thought the guys were generally douchebags.  They both married someone unconnected to UVA and both now have good jobs of the type that “give back.”  They’re not big fans of corporate America.

If you’d ask them, they’d agree that certain types do better at UVA than others and they’d acknowledge that - at least on the surface - they fit the type while they were there.  Neither has any regrets for having attended, but neither has any great love for the school either.  They are both practical, and it was a practical decision for both.[/quote]

Really amazing they met every guy at uva and hated them. Hard work to meet thousands of people! :). This is an idiotic response. I’m sorry. [/quote]

Never said they “hated” them.  They didn’t.  I said I  thought they were douchebags and not dating material.  Anybody who knows anything about UVA knows the guys are douchebags[/quote]

Well my Ds attends and he is the nicest guy ever, has had a GF his entire 3.5 years there (hs gf and then another uva student for the last 9 months). He’s truly a good guy. They do exist, his friends are like him.

My DD also attends and she is done with UVA men, she says the good ones are already taken and the rest are not worth her time. She’s had her heart broken several times. She looks back now and laughs, it’s been a growth experience. That being said, she says she is not going to meet anyone until she graduates next spring and is in the real world.

Both kids have very different views to the school they both attend. But they do agree on the wealth and attitudes particularly from OOS students. They both have best friends who are OOS, but they have seen some stunning wealth and entitlement.

As far as the academic culture,  both have enjoyed it.[/quote]
