<p>It’s what you would expect of a top public school in the south - a wide variety of people erring on the side of preppy, many large classes taught by sometimes nonchalant professors, but many small classes as well - sometimes taught by great professors and sometimes taught by nonchalant grad students, all sorts of social scenes to fit what you like to do, frats are typical large university frats, some erring on the side of southern white. I loved UVA, I found my niche just fine and loved having different circles of friends.</p>
