Best friends I'll ever have.

Very book bright but many are extremely sheltered from real world situations and reality.

Yes, the majority of the student body hails from Virginia, but that has not deterred those from out of state/country from interacting with them. There is a strong sense of community at the University, which a large part is due to the Honor Code. This honor code is strictly upheld by the students and for the most part has done its job. I will not lie and say that there are no racial/lgbt issues here. But the student body itself will take the time and opportunity to address the issue. For example, there was a "not gay" chant during the singing of the "Good Ole Song", and the student council stepped in to put an end to the chant with the LGBT community here, and they were relatively successful. The students here are very open and vocal about their beliefs. Out of the 500+ CIOs at the university, there is bound to be a group you can join that shares the same beliefs as you.

My classmates are some of the most diligent and hard working people I've ever met in my life. All the people I've met were among the best and brightest where they were from.
