<p>It varies. Every school I think has its fair share of jerks. But UVA I think has the same percentage as any other school, and it’s pretty minimal. Most of the “snobs” are just ignorant and eventually come around. I think we might get the reputation because of the many traditions (pearls/ties at football games, Foxfields, Lawn-type stuff, calling it “The University”, etc) we hold and the fact that it is such a prestigious school. And, we’re all very proud of our school and will tell anyone who wants to hear about how great it is. Do I think this is snobbish? No, just a pure love. So I think it’s a mix of things that make us come off that way, but in no means are people like that. Plenty of people dress poorly (I happen to love fall just to put on some jeans, t-shirt, and flip-flops) or wear basic stuff, and everyone is just nice in general. People tend to like to just look professional/decent when going to class, so you won’t see cut-off jeans and t-shirts around a ton, but instead jeans and a decent shirt is the norm.</p>
