The University of Virginia is an institution that is geared toward shaping very competitive young professionals. However it is up to you as a student to take advantage of the VARIOUS resources and connections that this university offers.

In the classroom: Class sizes are generally pretty large, people are competitive but will work with you as long as you you have a work ethic, pretty difficult to stand out to the professor until upper level smaller class sizes.

Social life: The never ending social events, clubs, activities, parties and endless distractions on the corner make it difficult focus on school work and other aspects of life. If you are self discipline, know how to prioritize and manage your time you will do great. If you don't, your grades will suffer big time. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the UVA mentality in that you must be out and doing UVA stuff ALL the time but believe it or not, there is life beyond the Charlottesville bubble. So be aware that there is a UVA bubble and make sure you are not trapped in it all the time.

Just be smart and take advantage of your time here. You can't help but fall in love with UVA.
