Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Undecided  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Average If you are a narrow-minded, conservative, who enjoys drinking and are into Greek-dominated life than by all means come here. The students here are very high caliber, and have only five things in their life and that is money, family, partying, Christianity, and education. Basically being integrated here fully is like being part of a cult. Honestly do not judge people here because they are different, because you will not be able to prove any judgement on them, because they will very much try to scientifically write down reasons why you are wrong and they are right. If you like the idea of mixers and formals, than you will love it here. If you do not and still decide to come here, you should be very tolerant of people. Otherwise, you will live everyday here with negativity and pessimism. Scholastic Success: B+, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?

Its facilities in almost every area but athletics are falling down -- you would find better space for graduate students than is provided for many faculty. Good faculty are chased away, and only the brown-nosers hang around. Don't waste your money or your time. Campus Aesthetics: B, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

UVA has a nice campus, very comparable to other campuses in the area, but average. I feel that my education would have been better if I had went else where. There is a good social scene on campus if you are into fake tans, big hair and fake nails and that is just the men! I grew up on the east coast and it was like going to the "wrong part of the shore".

Greek life DOMINATES the social scene. If you don't like sororities/fraternities do not and i reapeat do NOT come here. The greek system is huge--they create an exclusive and closed enviroment that only promotes cliquy-ness and exclusiveness. Almost everyone I have met has an eliest attitude towards everything!! As an out of state student, it was hard making friends because EVERYONE had a predetermined group of friends from high school. Fellow out of staters are really hard to find and the in state population is nearly impossible to befriend. This school is incredibly preppy and southern. I wasnt a huge fan of it since I'm from New York and am a liberal. You are almost forced to be like the majority and UVa does not value individuality. I am not a loser who sits alone in their room, i am incredibly sociable and love going out and making friends, but it was just so hard at UVa. I hate it & i am transfering to a more diverse and accepting school next fall. Don't be lured in by the beautiful campus and so called "tight knight" community. If you are an out of stater, dont like the greek system, arent preppy/rich, and have any individual value, this place is hell. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Individual Value: D- Have a Question?
