I attended Oxford University, thanks very much.

That would be thank you very much, you did go to Oxford.

They drink just as much at Oxford, but engage in far more sodomy.

Is that according to Rolling Stone?

Bahahahahaha! You do know all we have to do is google 'Oxford drinking parties,' right?? Wow. Not very bright.

Hmmm.. I went to Cambridge, so v similar to Oxford. There was loads of drinking; many students and professors were completely wasted a lot of the time. As a Jew I had to learn the new skill of drinking slowly to seem to be keeping up because there was literally no way I could ingest that much alcohol in one go. I'm not particularly troubled by the idea of students in a bar at 4pm on a Sunday afternoon (actually, I'm not sure where else they are supposed to be?) But having recently visited some US universities including UVA, I think there is a different drinking culture in those schools that I don't really like - or maybe it's the frat boy thing. Anyway, just saying to the OP, I understand where you are coming from.

What does the bolded mean?

OP sounds like they would love love LOVE Duke. Head down to Durham. Bye Felicia.

Lacrosse ghetto for felons in waiting...

I went to Tech but grew up here so many of my friends went to UVA. I visited a few times and I was honestly a bit disgusted by the culture there. It felt WAY more frat-centric and much less "controlled" than Blacksburg. Kind of creepy at night downtown.

It is incredible academically, though, and I do know a lot of people who loved their experience.

Did you see the lacrosse ghetto?

Gorgeous watering holes for intellectual ferment. Thanks for pictures.

Bloop! Love it OP.

OP, are you SURE you were on Rugby Road? Because it looks like this, not like what you were describing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Virginia_Greek_life

Animal House with stunningly beautiful animals and barns. I concede.

Touchy bunch of UVA grads! All so defensive.. I went there this weekend as well. Not too impressed. No way is it "stunningly beautiful" as someone described. Not even close. Tech has a far nicer campus that UVA. Both based on first impressions..

+1 - UVA grad.

+2 -- another UVA grad.

If UVA appalled you, don't bother with Tech. Maybe look at W&M but it might not do it for you either.

My DD attends there and is involved in other clubs, not the greek scene, but I've driven by those buildings many times and don't know what OP is talking about.

Er, not stunningly beautiful.
