Alternatively, often, people will get sick of a place. C-ville is nice and all, but it's a small city. VA residents can also go to W&M (although UVA is much more prestigous).
FULLY agree that UVA, being a state school, will take more Virginia residents than it would if it were not a state school. Use it to your advantage! If you aren't a VA resident who does UVA undergrad, then get your residency. You'll need it for AT LEAST a year before getting any tuition reduction - and, if your out-of-state parents are footing the bill, you likely won't be considered in-state. BUT - take a year off after graduation (which is a good idea anyway) and then apply. If you're paying for l.s. yourself and have had your residency (car, license, etc) there for a few years, you'll be considered a VA resident for both tuition and admissions.
(Note that VA residency is a necessary but not sufficient condition for in-state tuition.)
