<p>I specifically went to UVA OOS because I didn’t want to go to college with the people I had gone to hs with (1/5 of my grad class went to Penn State). It was just how I wanted it!</p>
<p>No one cares where you are from. If you and someone else share an interest for (whatever), then that is plenty enough! The only time it ever comes up is when people are talking about Nothern Virginia vs OOS vs the rest of VA. So really 1/3 are from each of those and so it’s not as big of a deal as you are thinking, since VA segregates itself into NOVA and (rest of VA).</p>
