<p>ltjenkins, Sorry to hear about your daughter.The issue for TV4caster’s daughter though is that she is already a second year. Would she lose ground by transferring? I don’t know. My oldest went to UVa and it was the right place for him. My youngest went to Virginia Tech. It was the right place for him. My husband and I have remarked more than once that it was fortuitous that younger son was not UVa material in high school (SAT’s and EC’s were but grades weren’t so he didn’t apply). The student body IN GENERAL does seem different. No knock on UVa at all (and I certainly don’t see my older son or his friends as arrogant) but it is not for everyone. My UVa son has made lifelong friends and enjoyed his time there tremendously. My VT son has done the same. Most kids do seem happy at UVa and the transfer rate is very low but if a kid is truly unhappy, I would imagine transfer could help.</p>
