The Mall in Charlottesville is sketchy as fk at night. There is a lot more crime, homeless and grifters.

Guess your kid doesn’t have the numbers for UVA, huh?


Typical UVA response.


There's someone on this board who loves to post statements like this, probably has no affiliation with UVA. Just likes to make it look bad.

UVA for VA residents and UGA for GA residents.

My DC is an OOS admit, and we have yet to visit the campus. Do people view the OOS experience at UGA the same way they do @ places like UNC - similar OOS percentages?




Most I know love it from oos. Southern but not overly so.

I agree with this guy. State College is at the top.

My DD disliked State College and didn’t apply because of it. She is a big fan of both Athens and Cville. Also liked Ann Arbor. Disliked Blacksburg. Also disliked Madison.


What's wrong with Madison?
