University of Virginia-Main Campus Top Questions

What kind of person should not attend University of Virginia-Main Campus?

Lauren

People who are not serious about academics should not go to this school because it is very academically rigorous. Also, people who are very introverted and don't like big classes shouldn't go here because intro classes tend to be very big and it's difficult to get to know your professors if you don't really make an effort. Closed-minded people also shouldn't go here because this is a place where critical thinking, debate, and challenging assumptions are the norm for students and professors.

People who aren't looking to participate in activities shouldn't attend this school. This school is full of over-achievers, which has been the benefit of the university. There are dozens of organizations dedicated to any cause you can think of, and people are generally a member of at least 2 or 3. If you prefer to work on your own, spend time dedicated to studies, and find a small group of friends to be with, you'd feel out of place here.

Georgia

Someone who is not enthusiatic about learning and has little motivation to study should not attend. In addition, students who are unwilling to reach out and discover new opportunities might have a hard time adjusting to the lifestyle of this school. Those who are unable to independently seek out opportunities may find themselves unhappy.

Mike

Someone who is driven.

Caroline

If you like being in an urban setting with lots of diversity in then this school might not be for you.

UVA is the perfect balance between a city and a rural school. It offers vast amounts of entertainment including concerts, plays, sports games, and comedy shows just within the grounds itself, not including what the surrounding city possesses. Someone looking for a big city atmosphere should not attend UVA, nor should someone who is looking for a small school that has a five minute walk across the entire campus. UVA provides the ultimate college experience with sports, Greek life, academics, the arts to name a few characteristics. People who aren't looking for that experience should look at different schools.

There is truly a place for everyone at the University of Virginia in terms of diversity of interests, culture, religion, etc. I think that the only people who won't fit in here are students who are not serious about their work. Everyone socializes and is involved with activities, but academics usually are the highest priority.

Marie

A person who would not do well at the University of Virginia is one who lacks the simple desire to learn to think.

Liz

You should not attend UVA if you don't want to be involved. There are so many wonderful organizations and community events to be a part of - it would just be a shame to be somewhere like UVA and not use the experience to its fullest extent. There is so much more to UVA than its wonderful academics, so don't miss out!

Chelsea

People who are uncomfortable in large classrooms.
