<p>TV4orcaster: I am a mother in a similar position. My daughter was socially involved in HS and on a varsity sports team. Nothing has worked out so far. I am a UVA alum ('85), and I hate to make a sweeping generalization, but here it goes… during our campus tours and various interaction with the students at UVA, I have to admit that they are very different from when I was there. To be frank…I found them arrogant and lacking in people skills…I think as UVA has risen in rankings, the type of student in terms of personality has also changed, and not for the better. My daughter is no nerd, but she does not fit in…she will be transferring to Tech next year…we should have gone with our gut and picked Tech…she fit in much better. Live and learn…rankings are not everything…</p>
