The University of Virginia is best known for its rigorous education and honor code. Our honor code here is a one sanction honr code that is student run. This means that one strike and you are out. This creates a great environment and really brings the students' morals out. The shops around grounds also follow this honor code, so if you forgot your money at home you are on your honor to come back the next day and pay it, and everyone does. It's curriculum is one of the hardest in Viriginia, sometimes called 'A public ivy league school'.

The name "University of Virginia " arouses awe and jealousy among other as it is well reknowned for being one of the most diverse, difficult to get into ivy league schools of Virginia. They are adamant about seeking out the best scholars and motivated students for their community. It offers the best of all venues; including bright engaging professors, diverse student populations and classes, activities and unique invicdual opportunities, career help among many others. In my experience, words will fail to explain how truly amazing this school is.

My school is best known for its history, obession with Thomas Jefferson, traditions, and the Commerce School.
Sarah
My school is best known for the legacy of Thomas Jefferson, especially the beautiful architecture. In addition, there are many traditions that make UVA unique. One such tradition is referring to freshmen as First Years, due to the belief that education never ends. It is these traditions that instill a sense of history which makes UVA notable. In terms of academics, The University Of Virginia?s rigorous demeanor and challenging course load, in addition to the stringent Honor code make it stand out. The honor code is powerful yet simple as it states ? I will not lie, cheat or steal?

The University of Virginia is most notably recognized as one of the top public universities in the college. The unrivaled aesthetic beauty of the grounds also keeps UVA a household name. Although, the fact that it is the only university in the United States to be designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and the only one to be founded by a President of the U.S. helps too.
David
An outstanding liberal arts and sciences program based on Thomas Jefferson's tradition. Also, strong programs in engineering, architecture, and business which are constantly getting better. All programs are ranked high in the country. Also, the Law school is extremely reknowned, and it's alumni contribute large amounts to the university.

The success of its students.

Of everything UVA is known for, its history and reputation stand out the most. It was founded by Thomas Jefferson so there's always a lot of talk about him when you're on campus. Besides that people regard UVA as a stepping stone towards a successful career, so not surprisingly a lot of students already have goals in life laid out and are the type-A people who will do everything they can to accomplish these goals.

UVa is best known for striking a good balance between studies and life. The school and its students recognize that ?college? is an experience, not just a school. UVa students can study, party, and volunteer almost simultaneously, then graduate and have more than just a degree. They are experts at tailgating and socializing, and then spend the next day doing work in the library.
