[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not much research going on at UVa which is one of main objectives of the Unis. [/quote] That's true with regard to research focused universities - which is why, for example, UVA is just #94 in the US News rankings that focus on research: http://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/search?region=&subject=&name=virginia Research strength is at best a neutral factor when it come sot selecting a school for undergraduate education. Some see it as a negative because it leads to "star" professors that never teach under grads. Two close friends are such "star" STEM Profs at a Top 10 Global Uni - one has no obligation to teach - the other must teach 8 hours (that's 480 minutes, not "credit hours") per year.[/quote]
