It feels like a lifetime ago that I was in Cville (class of 2010), but wanted to include my thoughts if helpful!
I was an out-of-state athlete and was between UVA and and Princeton when deciding on colleges. As a now 35-year-old professional I can honestly say I have ZERO regrets on my decision because I feel that UVA checked the box for literally everything I could ask for in an ideal college experience - academics, history, social life, opportunities for involvement…and in terms of athletics feel that it is often overlooked the incredible amount of National Championships that we have won over the years (special shout out to Women’s Swimming!). I also felt that the size of the student body was a perfect balance of always having the opportunity to be meeting new people while also consistently running into familiar faces around grounds.
Having been in the workforce for 12+ years now I can assure you a UVA degree is incredibly well respected and will take you far.
Go Hoos!

Overall, great education with some mishaps due to COVID and online learning. Positive atmosphere, very inclusive. I would like to see a change in how the grading system is designed - a-lot of my classes (mostly STEM) allowed students to fail and then curved everyones grades and I would rather the material be taught correctly and more comprehensively and have no curve needed at all. Loved the liberal arts classes I got to take! Lots of engaging discussions. The grounds around campus are absolutely beautiful and very well kept. There are tons of amazing places to study and relax.
Overall, UVA is a great university full of great opportunities. I love the atmosphere of promise and the sense that everyone is moving forward and doing their best to be greater than they already are. UVA can be difficult at times, but students can always see other students going through the same struggle and know they aren't alone. My main dislike is that UVA is always under construction! I want to access some of the cooler facilities, such as the Harry Potter floor at Alderman Library. Going to UVA, you can always know that there are at least 3 construction projects going on, and that if you ask the right people for help you will always receive it. Every place has its downsides, but UVA is easy to call home and be proud of.
