[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Serious question here, not trying to troll.  Why do so many on DCUM insist that UVA is not a prestigious school?  I just don’t get it.  It clearly is.  I remember deciding to move to Virginia over Maryland 35 years ago because of the University of Virginia and the College of William and Mary.  UVA being a top dog is nothing new.

Why so much animosity? Why so much denial?[/quote]

nobody is denying anything that is true - we are just trying to balance out UVA boosters all of whom happen to be from Virginia. if UVA is so prestigious why aren’t people from Cali and Florida coming here to praise it? there are none. Every single one is a parent from NOVa[/quote]

Because this is a DC centric board.  UVA, is among the top universities in the nation for many disciplines.  Not all.  But many.  And there are people in FL, in CA, in MA, in NY coming to UVA for College.

Similarly, there are people who get into UVA and decide it is not for them.  My DD preferred the atmosphere at Va Tech over UVA.[/quote]

it’s a DC centric board but people from MD Zaire decidedly less impressed by UVA. why is that? [/quote]

Because the cost is higher. Duh.[/quote]
