University of Virginia-Main Campus Top Questions

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

Alice

It is not that I didn't know there was going to be less diversity but I wish I knew how segregated people were from each other. It could be seen as a comfort level type thing but it was very disillusioning to see the lack of "integration". Not that people don't get along, it's just different.

Nathan

Just how prevalent underage drinking was.

Ashley

I wish I had known what major I wanted to be before I came here so that I could have from the beginning taken the classes I needed to take.

Melanie

I wish that I had known how to find a better work/play balance becoming to UVa. Because of the strength of the academics, it is necessary to find a good study schedule if one wishes to get involved in school clubs. At any given hour of the day, you will find students at the library and others hanging out at the fraternity houses. The key to getting the most of your experience at UVa is finding the correct balance between both.

Yuan

How difficult it would be to get classes.
