Stop trying so hard. No school in a state once presided over by Rick Perry deserves to be taken seriously.

Florida - limited OOS admissions ensure most of the students can barely read

Georgia Tech - small campus stuck in an unattractive city that Sherman should have finished off when he had the chance.


You can’t just make stuff up you sound ignorant ... universally respected and enjoyed ... just cause K-aren was too snobby in the 80’s too look at these schools doesn’t make your comments intelligent or clever.

While this is true, UVA is in the land of Confederates.


Have you ever been the Charlottesville?

Why do so many SLAC grads have such a big chip on their shoulder? Is it because few have ever heard of or really care about their college? They get so ticked off if you don't recognize they didn't just go to any tiny college you've never heard of... they went to a top 10 tiny private college you've never heard of!

True, but there are several categories of posters who are anti-UVA"
1) MD people, as you say
2) DC people who also don't have any good choices, but who would get the tag money for UVA but do not have the stats. to get in
3) UMD and VT people and students who troll for fun because UVA is their rival
4) NoVA parents who have paid taxes to Virginia for years but are frustrated after supporting the state for decades that their child doesn't have the stats to get in
5) NoVA students who didn't get in and are bitter
6) OOS students who applied but didn't have the stats to get in
and finally,
7) legacy parents who are upset that their child didn't get in

So it’s jealousy!
I must admit that DCUM has totally turned me off UVA.
We are from MD and William and Mary is the only VA school I wish we could attend at in state rates
UMD compares favorably to UVA and VT (especially for STEM). Plenty to criticize about College Park and Charlottesville.


But of course! That's why there's so much trolling over it, unlike other state schools.

Using “meh” in a post in 2020 is always a good indicator of a first-class mind.
