Hi everyone! This is my first post so forgive me if I don’t know what I’m doing… Anyway I am Asian, from NYC, and from a lower middle class family. I am considering applying to UVA but after reading some of the posts here and some of the posts on College *******, I’m a little worried that I, as a not-wealthy Asian person who is not accustomed to the ways of the South, will not fit in at UVA or make friends readily. I’m really outgoing and I love making friends, but I’m worried I won’t mesh well with the social environment at UVA.

I really want to visit UVA to get a feel of the campus for myself, but unfortunately that’s not possible. So I would be really thankful if anyone could give me a good idea of the campus vibe.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :D
