[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anti-UVA vibe on DCUM is very interesting.  I'm wondering why...

Is it envy from UMD boosters because UMD is not considered, overall, as prestigious as UVA or ranked as high?  They believe UVA is overrated and UMD is underrated.  So putting UVA down serves their cause.
Is it superiority from the Ivy/SLAC crowd who wants to keep UVA in it's place as "just another flagship public school", and not worthy of consideration in comparison to their smaller and more intellectual institutions?
Is it sour grapes from folks who didn't get into UVA?  
Is it because UVA alums are annoying and have an overinflated opinion of themselves and the school?

I'm trying to think of another school that is similar to UVA that gets put down as much as UVA on this site. And I can't find one.  The closest might be Georgetown.  Lots of Georgetown hate on DCUM as well.

It's an interesting phenomenon.

It is probably all of the above.

Private schools (Notre Dame is perhaps a better example) can be more specialized and someone won't appreciate that specialization.  A lot of schools get put down.  UVA is also a pretty big school so it is going to get more air time than smaller schools.
