<p>Thanks Globalist, your words were the ones I was searching for. She has no connection with UVA. Michigan is definitely not the kind of school I want, I didn’t even consider applying there. Oh, of course, many will tout the Michigan mystique, but no it’s not for me. I love the southern, historical, smaller, Jeffersonian academical atmosphere of UVA.
I have strong southern roots and I like it that way. I don’t know, something just rubs me the wrong way about this new President: too northern, no UVA connection, from really big schools (U of M, Michigan State), and she’s actually kind of old in her own career (60 years old). I’m a little sad to be honest. I know I’ll probably get some grief for this posting, but it’s an honest report from me, a UVA 3rd year student.
Oh, and Globalist, guys still wear jackets and ties to the football games :)</p>
