[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]UVA is more like 13th grade judging from my DC's friends.  They are all still hanging out with the same people they did in high schoo[/b]l.  Duke would allow your DC to meet people from all over the US and the world.   But kids from the WDC area are already pretty worldly, so it depends on your kid, what connections they have now, and their future plans.

I would not encourage anyone to go to Duke however after what the Gang of 88 did.  There's a Town and Gown problem in Durham, but there's also a faculty vs. student problem.  I can't speak for UVA, but my DC chose their school based on how supportive and encouraging the faculty members were at accepted students' weekend.    [/quote]

The only people who regularly post this type of comment regarding UVA [b]NEVER[/b] actually have kids who attend(ed) UVA.  If they did, they would know that it is not true.  Two of my DCs attend and since day 1, do not hang out with anyone they know from high school but rather made all new friends from all over the US.  The only time they might possibly be in contact with a HS classmate who also attends UVA is when they need a ride home for a break, and even that is rare and only happened during their first year.[/quote]
