UVA is a great school with great resources for learning and wonderful professors. However, I feel that those who would truly enjoy their college experience here are generally "Old Money" conservative, Greek-life oriented Caucasians. Otherwise, most of my friends who come from the same socioeconomic background as me, as well as from my minority background, have expressed feelings of depression in regards to their time here.

UVA is a great place for people involved in the Greek scene, but I wasn't and I still really enjoyed my experience. I think it depends on the people you meet and how confident you feel about yourself. I recommend a goal-oriented, fun-loving person who likes to work hard and play hard and loves learning and natural beauty should apply to UVA.

Highly motivated people with strong social skills and diverse interests.

Someone who places importance on the wonderful resources the University has to offer and highly motivated.

Any person who wants to attend a school that offers more than its reputation. Not only is UVa held in high esteem among other univesities, but it never stops the quest for a better education for its students. The University prides itself on sending out well rounded, capable graduates into the world, not just the workforce. Mr. Jefferson had a clear view of what education should be and any student wishing to attend the University should hold integrity and the global community in the highest esteem.

The type of person that should attend this school needs to have a firm grasp on succeeding academically and quickly finding what venue they want to study. A student who will succeed at this university cannot be afraid to ask questions. The University has many resources but they are not readily available. You have to seek out our help and always be persistent. It's ok to be shy but you cannot be passive because this school will take your money and fail you at the same time.
