<p>Calling UVa snobby and elitist sounds like a jealous cry from people who couldn’t get admission against their wishes.
However, once you are in, you understand what it is really like to be a part of the UVA community. I would say people are rather classy than snobby, and extremely proud rather than elitist. It is just a unique and special place and one would be so lucky to get associated with it. Personally, I have never encountered with snobby people there, only have seen very friendly and caring people.</p>
