[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The UVA thing amuses me. I'm sure it's a great school but I'm pretty sure there's a rule that alums have to say that they went to UVA within 5 minutes of meeting you. They do NOT keep their candle under a bushel.[/quote]

Yes!  Their certainly is a pervasive arrogance at UVA.  Don't ever ask a current student if she's a freshman, either.  You'll get a snotty, immediate correction of "first year." So very self important and smug.  This haughty attitude applies to parents of UVA students, too.  They are quick with the UVA-specific lingo corrections and "name dropping."

I am old enough to remember when UVA students doctored their school's standard car window sticker.  Instead of The University of Virginia only "The University" would go onto the window.  Ugh.[/quote]

YES!  I remember this too.  Though I thought the UVA bookstore must sell the stickers like that - didn't realized students did their own cut and paste job.  How arrogant!  Blech.[/quote]
