<p>I would hope that those who are already part of the UVa community would use the private message function to settle misunderstandings or disputes and let this board remain a helpful, friendly place for students and parents to get answers to their questions.</p>
<p>The tone of some of these posts is off putting. Like it or not, people may draw conclusions about UVa based on the behavior of its students and alumni on forums like this. </p>
<p>Congrats to the new students and their parents! I hope you’ll stick around to help the next crop of people looking for information about UVa!</p>
