Great college town. The professors are always willing to help you and the students here overall are friendly.

They could improve on guiding students more regarding career choices, particularly in their third year.

Make sure you go and sit in on a class. It will help you to get a feel of what the students, professor and overall life at UVA will be like.

Yes

Great school and traditions. Great professors and a good variety of classes to take. Beautiful grounds. Great combination of of work and play. Situated in an amazing college town.

The football team is subpar. The online registration system for classes is a pain but very easy to overlook

UVa is the best school ever. Charlottesville is amazing and I wish that I never had to leave. An amazing school!

In the College of Arts and Sciences, there are several requirements that may be easily fulfilled by a number of classes. Two writing classes, a historical studies class, a "non-western perspectives" class, foreign language competency, and a given number of credits in natural science, mathematics, humanities, and social science are needed. Introductory classes are often large-- up to 500 people-- but the professors go great lengths to make themselves available to the students regardless. Particularly, Professor Kenneth Elzinga of the Econ department stands out. Many students claim the workload is intense, though I find it easier than high school thus far.

It is excellent. There is plenty to do in Charlottesville. The dining halls are not world-class, but they provide decent-tasting, nutritious food most nights. The libraries are expansive and are excellent places to study or relax.

Application was very straightforward. Common Application was used. Additionally, two short essays were required-- one asked me to describe a work of science, art, or literature that profoundly affected me. The other essay had a number of topic options. There are no interviews.

UVA uses the Common Application with a UVA supplement, which has a couple of essays. UVA does not have early decision or early action.

general requirements for each college, major requirements, academic advising based on major, various class sizes (lecture classes can have 200 but smaller and more advanced classes have 15-20), grading is very strict, lots of study abroad opportunities in various countries or on the UVA cruise ship, lots of notable faculty

awesome

physics department cannot teach physics. Get your physics credit out of the way. They don't recognize IB credit, so take a lot of AP tests. Class sizes vary, grading is done (at least in engineering) by comparing how well you did with everyone else.

AWESOME

Standard application....

The curriculum, no matter what school of study, really emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of a complete education. Whether you're in the engineering school or the architecture program, the school provides many opportunities for collaboration across the subjects.

Fitness facilities are great, including four gyms, all offering different workout options. Athletics on every level, from daily workouts to varsity sports, are huge with the student population and is definitely a draw. The library system, which as 17 libraries and is the 1st backup to the library of Congress, holds millions of resources for undergrad students to reference. likewise, students simply love attending the University, as they call it, and enjoy their time here.
