[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, you all are pretty mean.
But yes, I do mean distaste. She's not interested in something that is centered around Viriginian culture.[/quote]

Being from CA, if someone told me their kid wasn’t interested in CA culture, I’d get it.  As diverse as it is, [b]there are some [/b]commonalities.

But I’d also suggest that the kid should consider going to school elsewhere like Washington, Colorado or Texas.

I think the same applies here with Virginia. No need to get snarky about it.  Some doth protest too much.

Of what commonalities do you speak ?[/quote]

My experience is that the dominant culture is less preppy, more inclusive and less old money and Greek than back East.  College sports aren’t really that big here.

Generally, it is a middle to upper middle class liberal vibe.  A strong interracial ethnic world that, while it exists back East, is very prominent, especially in the Central Valley, San Diego and the Inland Empire.

Of course, this is all subjective,  but does anyone really believe that going to UVA, Cal and UCLA are the same?  Hardly anyone on this forum.
