Honestly, this place is full of snoody jerkoffs.BrightChemical Engineering
Honestly, this place is full of snoody jerkoffs. I honestly cannot take another year in this place. My first year was horrid. My parents decided for me taht I should try my second... but if anything it has gotten worse and worse. I have had horrible experience with faculty and my professors have been absolutely NO help. That is if I ever saw my professors after the first day. Some of them I have actually never seen because well they are off on their own snotty research.

Question
Go here if you wear Polos, skirts, andSuper BrilliantAerospace Engineering
Go here if you wear Polos, skirts, and would never be caught wearing sweatshirts and pants. I wish I went to Virginia Tech. Not only does that school have a far better engineering program, but it's also easier and the social life is FAR better. Go Hokies! Poo UVA!I'm almost done though, and when I graduate I'm going to VT to get my masters in PHYSICS! I can't wait to be a hokie! I love Virgnia Tech. The students are more laid back and friendly, and although the engineering program is good, you won't have to kill yourself to get good grades. AND, and engineering degree froM Tech looks a hell of a lot better than UVA.

Question
The student body is a disgrace.Quite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
The student body is a disgrace. If you are white, sexist, racist, alcoholic, rich, and from NOVA - come to UVA. For most out-of-state students, this place sucks. If I had to decide again, I would not even bother applying. Don't let the beautiful campus hook you; make sure you get the truth about the school. I would love to answer any question about UVA and my experiences here - both good and bad. I will tell you the truth, not what the Office of Admissions tells you :) Seriously though, any questions or comments - feel free to email -
