| Though UVA's campus is spread out, most of your classes are concentrated in Central Grounds, so UVA actually feels smaller than it is. I had a good friend who had transferred to UVa from UMich (the honors program no less) because she felt Michigan was too large. Her sister also went to UM, but she never ever saw her. At UVa, you bump into your friends all the time...around the Lawn, in Cabell, in Newcomb, on the way back to 1st Year Dorms. Also, UVa works hard to foster a closeness within its student body. |
