Some people say that if you are not white,rich and cannot drink,it's not a place for you.Iis that true? |
You will find that regardless of your background and religious/ethnic traditions, there is always a clique or niche to fit into. However, I would say that excessive drinking is not a pastime of UVa students, it is practically expected. I find that many of my non-partying classmates do feel alienated from what they percieve to be the right social group, i.e. the rich kids… |

At UVa, about 90% of the students are thrilled to be here, and the other 10% hate it. In all honesty, as long as you are prepared for a preppy social scene and some ridiculously hard undergraduate coursework, you'll probably love it. I think many students come out of high school thinking that UVA will just be an extension, but you'll probably learn more in your first semester here than you did in 4 years of high school. Socially, popped collars and birkenstocks would be the standard, but everyone can find their own clique if need be. Regardless, everyone here is smart, so you're bound to find a group that you enjoy.
