[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever UVA is, it’s 20,000 students.  It’s not a monolith. If preppiness bothers DC, then they should feel free to not dress or act preppy.  There are plenty on non-preppy people at UVA. It’s too big for any particular group to dominate. [/quote]

IT's actually 26,000 if you include the grad students AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM DRESSES PREPPY.  Seriously, OP, you have raised a bigot.  You need to open your daughter's mind.  My non-preppy kid loved it there.  She never participated in the greek system (only 26 percent at UVA), never partied with them, never set foot in a greek house, joined other fabulous clubs and graduated with great friends and never once looked preppy.  If she has a chance of getting in, she should apply because it is a great financial deal for in-state and a great school.  Also go look at W&M, although your daughter will probably say that is too preppy, too.  LOL. If you really want to see preppy go see W&Lee and U of Richmond.[/quote]

+1. I graduated UVA. Sometimes I felt like I was living in a sea of human Barbie dolls but I found my people, no Greek, just focused on my studies, did well, and life turned out great.[/quote]
