[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA is unique among publics for the combination of its founders, its architecture, its age, its quality education, including its professional schools, and its strong connections with Ivies. [/quote]

UVA is absolutely superior to the other schools listed here. [b]However, what is unique about the architecture? Other colleges have nice buildings too.[/b] [/quote]

UNESCO disagrees with you.

"The Academical Village still forms the heart of the University of Virginia, and exhibits a unique U-shaped plan dominated by the Rotunda with pavilions, hotels, student rooms, and gardens arrayed in rows to its south. The buildings are excellent and highly personalized examples of Neoclassicism, shown in their relationship to the natural setting and their blending of functionalism and symbolism. They were inspired by deep study of classical and contemporary examples and reflect Jefferson’s aspirations for the character of the new American republic. Both works have drawn international attention from the time of their construction."
