<p>I’ll take a shot at answering a few of your questions.</p>
<p>-How big is football on campus?</p>
<p>Student tickets are free (i.e. included in tuition with ID), but the stadium is rarely more than half full. We do have the (ESPN) #1 DT, #1 S, and #2 K committed in our incoming class of 2014, but on the other hand, both of our starting QBs from last year are transferring. Kind of a mixed bag there. </p>
<p>-I’m a northern boy, specifically from the Philadelphia area in Pennsylvania. How difficult will it be to transition into southern culture? Will I be looked down upon for being northern?</p>
<p>Southern people are much more open and friendly. You won’t be looked down upon, but you might just act more distant than other people at first, and they might notice. It’s not like UVA so southern that everyone gets sweet tea everywhere, though.</p>
<p>-How good is the marching band? If I do attend UVA, hopefully I’ll be able to land a spot on the Cavalier Drumline!</p>
<p>The marching band is pretty good compared to the other ACC bands. Our musicality is excellent considering the number of people marching on secondary instruments, but the drill and precision aren’t that exciting. For some perspective, Penn State’s Blue Band is over a century old. The Cavalier Marching Band is turning 10 this year.</p>
<p>-I heard the school has an extremely preppy student body? Is this true?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
