Big Picture

The best part about UVA would definately be the people. Everyone is so nice and welcoming and I feel so at home here. I do not think I would change anything at UVA except for maybe the dining hall food. It is just right in size and it is very much a college town. everything revolves around the lawn and all the classes are around it. There is a lot of school pride and for football games with have this saying of "girls in pearls and guys in ties" where both groups dress up in sundresses and khakis shirt and tie.

Academic Life

Students study all the time. people are very competitive becuase everyone comes from the top of their classes in high school so when they come here they are competiting with a bunch of people at the same intellectual level as them.

Student Body

Most students are from in-state and richmond and northern Va. most people wear jeans and a nice top to class. kinda like a dressy casual. most people do not wear sweats to class. and when it gets warm outside girls start wearing sundresses around.
