University of Virginia-Main Campus Top Questions

I would have to say no; like any other college, UVa is composed of a blend of different types of individuals. Sure, everyone at UVA is a little bit of a nerd...you basically have to be...but, there are innumerable types of people here. I really think anyone can find a niche--whether you're into sports, video games, sororities/frats, or whatever.

These stereotypes are absolutely not true. Yes, you will find some people that are very preppy, but most people at least Monday through Friday are more concerned about getting to classes and sleeping more than anything else. Once again you will find some people that are very pompous an arrogant, but that is not everyone. UVA really is no different than any other college, you will find all types of people here and to sterotype us as preppy and arrogant is so far from the truth.

To some degree. UVA students are generally quite wealthy and it is a very preppy school in terms of dress. While there is some truth to it, it doesn't mean UVA students are spoiled and don't work hard.

The stereotype is not baseless, there are indeed people at UVA who fall into this demographic, but to be honest, this stereotype is massively overexaggerated, most UVA students are just regular, friendly, easy going people.

Yes and no. There are people like that at UVA, but there many people who aren't. What's typical depends on your particular group.

Like all stereotypes these aren't accurate, only 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of our students participate in Greek life, and though some students do seem to do their best to try and live up to the snobby stereotype, most people don't.
