Honestly, UVA is a paradise for me. I never knew I would love college as much as I've loved it here. I'm so sad to be graduating this spring.

Don’t come here for undergrad or any of the graduate schools. This is not a good place for your mental health.
Overall 1.3
I hate it here. I am so glad I get to transfer to William and Mary in the Fall. Everyone at UVA is either stuck up, racist, or totally anti-social. Half of the people here are addicted to alcohol or crack. Plus, the classes are too hard for no reason. Professors don't care about you, and you will be treated like a number. I do not recommend.

Was there after the shooting in fall semester of 2022. It was handled so poorly that I left at Thanksgiving break and didn't return to the university at all. There are several serious safety issues around campus, other than poor handling of a shooter. Also, the social scene is very snobby and horrible. As a FGLI student OOS, I was not welcome.

Needs work on a lot of things but still a decent school
