The great thing about UVA is that it is a public research university - meaning its resources attract the big names in most fields of study. This is great for you, the student, because you get to learn under such academics as Rita Dove and Larry Sabato. A caveat: UVA has a single sanction Honor Code. If you lie, cheat, or steal, you will be tried by a jury of your peers and if found guilty of a non-trivial offense, you will be expelled.

    The University of Virginia has a beautiful campus and is filled with busy, diverse, constantly-learning people. Students and faculty learn from one another, and it is gaining knowledge, not grades, that is emphasized and truly valued. School traditions are celebrated, and new ones are continuously created.

    The University of Virginia is a great school for any type of student. The academic atmosphere is difficult but doable, it has great athletic teams and amazing team spirit, the campus is beautiful, and it even has a party scene for those students that love to party. It is a pretty big school with about 14,000 students but it can become a small world pretty quickly.

    The University of Virginia is the quintessential southern public ivy. It offers the best of the best when it comes to academic opportunities, a community of passionate scholars, and a place to call home. UVA so far has been the best decision of my life, with all its quirky traditions and amazing student body.

    UVA is the perfect collegiate experience-its big enough to have a solid Greek system, fun social scene, good athletics, and a lot of academic opportunities, while still being a manageable size. It has the highest level of academics, and you can study anything due to the broad range of majors. UVA also has a great history and lots of traditions, including an obsession with Thomas Jefferson!
