University of Virginia Reviews
Rating 3.92 out of 5 2,419 reviews
I entered the school wanting a medium-sized town-and-gown experience and got what I wanted. The lack of diversity or meaningful connection to a typical metropolitan population was shocking at first. On a purely anthropological level, the mix and contrast of highly educated, milquetoast upper crust Americans with first generation scholarship students who know the struggle was enlightening. Greek life was overwhelming as someone who wasn't a part of it, yet they had far too much say about university matters for organizations that were ultimately self-serving. For some, the insular grounds can be comforting and grounding while for others, it will be suffocating and claustrophobic. As someone who enjoyed the Blue Ridge Mountains and local specialties, every season brought a treat. That's enough. I've had both irreplaceable and regrettable memories that come with being a college student far from home. If UVA could change for the better, I'd be more optimistic about the nation.
The University of Virginia is nestled in the city of Charlottesville, which is full of character through both the people, architecture, and scenery. Besides the great physical environment the university has a great social environment, and this includes both the students and professors. All of my professors not only ensured me a well-rounded education they made sure to create time for each one of their students, showing that they not only cared about our learning but our personal well-being. Besides my professors, I have met some truly amazing peers. The community of peers at UVA can be very competitive at times, but overall many of my peers have become some of my best friends and biggest inspirations. Though, I have to say that I am upset at the lack of classes in the art department at UVA; the university tends to put a lot of their money towards their sports programs instead of the arts. I would love to see an increase in art classes at this university.
I grew to love the University of Virginia. I moved to Charlottesville during the pandemic, so I was not aware of the little "traditions" that UVA has - and more I learned about our school and traditions, I grew to like it. Visiting local Bodo's and getting number 1, visiting Carter's Mountain sunset series, partying and studying hard - all these experiences made my memories throughout my four years of UVA and two more to go!
