[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two of our daughters went to UVA from NOVA.  Both were in sororities.  They are smart, pretty, outgoing, and come from money.  They made good friends at UVA but are generally better friends with their high school friends.  Neither did much dating in college because they both thought the guys were generally douchebags.  They both married someone unconnected to UVA and both now have good jobs of the type that “give back.”  They’re not big fans of corporate America.

If you’d ask them, they’d agree that certain types do better at UVA than others and they’d acknowledge that - at least on the surface - they fit the type while they were there.  Neither has any regrets for having attended, but neither has any great love for the school either.  They are both practical, and it was a practical decision for both.[/quote]

Really amazing they met every guy at uva and hated them. Hard work to meet thousands of people! :). This is an idiotic response. I’m sorry. [/quote]

Never said they “hated” them.  They didn’t.  I said I  thought they were douchebags and not dating material.  Anybody who knows anything about UVA knows the guys are douchebags[/quote]

This is ridiculous. DH went to undergrad at UVA, he's not a douchebag. Neither are his friends, who I have met and know well (well with one exception). Now, it's true I didn't know him until grad school, but I highly doubt he had a complete personality change in a year.

I can say that while my info is dated, the culture was very heavy on drinking. Traditions and culture focused on alcohol. Heavy fraternity and party culture. The stories my DH tells from his college days are very different from my own experience at a different school [/quote]

Another UVA grad who votes for d-bag. It is completely unsurprising to me that you are defending your husband and his friends(!!) during a time period you didn’t know them.[/quote]

Yea I agree that the poster has no way of knowing how much of a douchebag her husband was in college.  I’m sure he was a bigger one than she thinks.  And no doubt his friends were too.

Again, to be clear, I am not saying that UVA guys are bad. I am saying they are douche bags. There’s a difference.[/quote]

Is this how you go through life? Judging thousands of people without knowing them? WOW. Just wow. Sounds like to detest uva so why not hop off the thread? K? [/quote]

DP. Yes, I feel okay judging alumni of the university I attended.[/quote]
