Bedouin: can you explain the basis of the comments you have made? I attended UVa for both undergraduate and graduate school. I did not find UVa to be provincial or Charlottesville to be particularly isolated or rural. Where I now live and work (in the Northeast), UVa is widely recognized as an excellent institution both within the working world and in general. I have definitely benefitted professionally from being a UVa gaduate (although I don’t necessarily think your alma mater should be that big a deal in most hiring situations). Frankly I don’t know where your statements come from.
