University of Virginia-Main Campus Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Jeannette

That I didn't really want to be a business major, and then I wouldn't have wasted so much time on pre-req classes that brought down my gpa.

Mohammad

Everyone is so fit at this school.

Terry

I think I was well equiped when it came to knowing stuff about the school.

Thomas

It's really much harder than you think.

Julene

I wish I had known more about the different majors and classes. I felt I was very uninformed about the different professors, shedules, and academic opportunities outside classes until past my 2nd year.

Madeleine

That i was not as easy as they said to study abroad. They seemed to encourage it but in reality the program is not very organized and it feels as if you're mostly on your own. Also off campus housing is very difficult. Leases are signed in early november leaving a lot of the success of your housing situation to luck.

Boone

Enough about myself to avoid this preppy, pretintious place.

Amine

How stressfuull it is

Katherine

I wish I had known that it's impossible to participate in all of the social activities without it affecting your school work. You have to pick and choose in order to stay on top of classes.

Shaundra

There is a student network that recommends electives to help balance the rigorous courses. Take advantage of the advice.
