[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the hell is UVA?  I grew up in California and and live in the Northeast. No one at my kid's private ever talks about this school. Why is this a thread?[/quote]
Some people out west know about UVA, but I don't think it's all that highly regarded by most Californians, not like it is in the DC area, which is fine.  It makes sense that a state school is more highly regarded in the region than outside of it.  Only schools like Cal, UCLA and Michigan probably have a high national profile.

Outside the DC bubble, people don’t know Cal on the East Coast. [/quote]

Whatever your petty squabble…that’s just not true.  Now most know it as Berkeley.[/quote]

How do you know this? Plenty of people know UVa and hasn’t heard of Cal. They’re provincial, just like folks that don’t know UVa [/quote]
 :roll:

I mean hard to really know, but here's a couple of lists:

Berkeley #5
UVA: N/a[/quote]

You don’t get it. Outside of your college obsessed bubble, people don’t look at lists like this. [/quote]
I don't really care about such a list, either. But, I was responding to the poster who claims outside of the east coast, most people have never heard of Cal.

And when California posters stated that they either haven't heard of or disregard UVA, the UVA booster claimed  the Californians to be "provincial".

I guess people all over the world, outside the east coast, are provincial, and only those who know about UVA are sophisticated.
