Think about the “opportunity cost.” Calculate the net total price difference over 4 years between the choices, including transportation costs and cost of living. Buying every meal and renting housing will be much much expensive at Stanford or Harvard than at UVa, unless those colleges offer affordable on-campus housing for all 4 years.

Now, think about what you could do with that difference in price. For instance, could it completely fund a graduate degree? Or, could it allow you to avoid high interest rate loans that could severely limit your choices after graduation?

Today, UVa has a highly diverse student body, and Cville has become a very cosmopolitan city. The majority of UVa students do not join sororities or fraternities, but if you do, there are many different types of Greek organizations, including some emphasizing certain ethnic groups.

As far as fitness, take a look at UVa’s Aquatics and Fitness Center, which is close to the first year dorms.
