The University of Virginia

I was in the first graduating class of women at the University of Virginia. I was awed by the powerful reputation of this school, and graduated with the inevitable hubris each student leaves with. The positives? Mt. Lake Biological Research Station, meeting my husband, meditating in the gardens on grounds. The negatives? the fraternity system, the advising system, the arrogance. Advice? An education is expensive and important. You should be supported, encouraged, and hopefully mentored. Only a chosen few, those who are exceptionally gifted and/or self-directed, will find that at this school.
