The fact that the campus is absolutely stunning! It is filled with a historical background and presents. All the building have are white with red brick, some have columns others do not, but each follows the Jeffersonian architecture. Another positive attribute is no matter what season it is, the campus gets more and more beautiful.

I brag about the type of classes I have to take. For example, we have to take a english writing class...I got to choose from a list of classes that included "I love the 80's", "Rap as an Artform", and "The Mommy Wars". My school, unlike theirs seems to try and keep me interested by allowing me to take things i'm interested in!

The campus and surrounding area is beautiful. I love the City of Charlottesville. There are lots of things to do away from the university as part of the community as well as within the university community.

The people I am friends with are the people that I'm going to be friends with for life. College is all about making those connections with people who have similar interests, and those are the people you'll be getting Christmas cards in the mail from 20 years from now.

I tell my friend how much my university has expanded my social and educational circles. I have the opportunity to meet people from all over the country and all over the world. Having spent my entire life in the same area, I relish the ability to gain new perspectives from my classmates. So many of the professors here are extremely well known in their fields and for the books they have written, and I feel honored to be able to attend their classes and learn from the very best.

Its academically challeging to get in. It has a great array of networking opportunites because of faculty were used to be in big time positions, or they are very prominent in their research fields.

That it is so easy to meet and make new friends and there are always people to hang out with when you have free time.

The campus is gorgeous and I feel like I've really found a home here. I've met my best friends, and generally find the population and friendly should you need some help. There is room here for everyone, and with student-directed government and extracurriculars you can create a club if it is not available. As a history nerd I find the library and surrounding area nirvana.

People are so friendly. I grew up in Chicago, and its totally different. The people here, especially girls, would just come up to me and say hello. I was shocked
