Most students are known for being somewhat pretentious and elitist. There is a very strong sense of school pride in terms of its academics and reputation and the alumni network is very strong in that respect. Sometimes I am somewhat ashamed however of our school's snobbish reputation. To non-UVA students, I often find myself embarassed for our reputation for its students' arrogance. Athletically most students really could not care less.

UVA is mostly known for it's high caliiber of expectations in regards to academics. Though the school has a snobby repuatation in comparison to others I have found this to be completely false. UVA is great school encompassing the gamut of personalities, ideas, and goals. There's something for everyone as UVA.

UVA is best known for being a school where people go to get a good job after college. It's known for its beautiful campus, its fantastic setting in Virginia, its historic founding, and great grades. UVA is known for being an extremely well rounded college environment, where students can have a fantastic experience because it's a big school, but not too big.

The University of Virginia is best known for its' superior academics and rich history. Thomas Jefferson designed the school to advance society and unite those with a passion for learning. Although the focus here will be your studies, there is a thriving social life should you desire to take part as the University is a place to learn and grow, not just in the classroom but life itself. As TJ put best, "We are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it." Wahoo-Wa!!!

A class poem is read before the Lawn is finally lit up with holiday lights. After the lights are turned on, students sing the "Good Old Song."
