[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVa is a good deal for in-state students and a good university. It's reputation doesn't travel well outside the Northeast and academic circles, though. [/quote]UVA is known throughout the county. It's not a regional university.[/quote]

It has about the same name recognition as other state flagship universities. The rest of the country wouldn't rank UVa in front of NYU or Michigan. It wouldn't even occur to put UVa on the same list. It's reputation is more like Florida or Texas or Illinois. Good, but not top 25. [/quote]

Ignore this troll. UVA is a Top 25 school and consistently rated as the best public school outside of California. It's not as big as Michigan and it doesn't have a notable reputation in football like Michigan, so, yeah, Michigan has bigger name recognition among Trump voters. In the professional class, UVA is an Elite school most well known on the East Coast, but the USNEWS ranking is not accident.[/quote]

Nobody said that UVa wasn't a good school or that it didn't deserve [b]it's[/b] ranking.  But it doesn't have much brand appeal outside the Northeast, unless your kid is planning on going into a graduate or professional program.  A hiring manager in California in Seattle or Chicago or Dallas would rather hire someone from ASU or Texas A&M.   [/quote]
