bedouin: You are incredibly misinformed about the University of Virginia, its reputation and its incredible student body which is very upper end stats OOS students (1/3), the top of the class of Virginia high schools (and many who can’t get in are devastated) and a large segment of in state Virginia students raised on the Beltway of Washington DC whose parents are often international or from far far away from Virginia…and transient by nature.

The alum network for UVA is amazing and wide.

Diversity is a core experience of the four years at UVA and one reason the college has so much cache.

sorry, OP…I see now you wanted OOS comments. I reside in a more rural section of VA. VA has a huge share of military families and families involved with the business of the federal government…so The University does serve a very mobile citizenry.
