[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The negative vibes on my lengthy visits  post are upsetting.   These are my kids impressions of their campus tours and remember they were seventeen or so. My comments followed. The Wahoo who  responded so negatively may not have read that my son who did attend law school at UVA  loved it as I duly noted. His jab at the chip on my shoulder about W&M maybe did not catch that three out of four of my children were not  impressed with their visit. The Duke responders should register that I was still in favor of them applying .  This thread was about visits to colleges..not the schools themselves. Everyone kindly sip your wine and back the fork off. [/quote]
I wouldn’t sweat the nutty parents on DCUM, particularly those that crawl out of the woodwork anytime UVA comes up.  I commented once that my kid wanted a west coast SLAC, so didn’t apply to UVA, and a dozen UVA alums jumped in to say variations of « sorry your kid didn’t get in ». I think most people who go to UVA are lovely people, but there are alums on DCUM doing the school a real disservice by being so nutty.   [/quote]

you do realize that most of those people are in fact UVA haters, just looking to stir up trouble and give UVA a bad name. Most of the time, the haters are the ones that bring up UVA at all, doesn't take a genius to see what's going on here.[/quote]

So you are saying they bring UVA up just to get people ticked off at UVA?  Perhaps.  Tough to say.[/quote]
