The courses here are very rigorous and challenging, but if you love to learn and work hard, then UVA is the place for you. The professors and even the TAs are all very knowledgeable about their subjects and are always available to help you with you work. As with most colleges, there is a core curriculum that every student has to fulfill, which allows you to study things you may not have. Basically at UVA, you get as much out of the classes as you put into them.

Come see the campus, instead of applying blind. The grounds are beautiful and a big part of what most Wahoos love about UVA.
Also, UVA is a public university and has many types of students, so everyone can find a way to fit in here.

Which types of students will excel at your college?
UVA is a public university and houses every type of person imaginable - everyone will find a crowd to hang with. But also, Charlottesville is a bit of a ritzy city. As a general stereotype, many UVA students are wealthy, preppy, and from Northern Virginia. However, there are many students that don't fit this bill and who have found a place here. UVA is great for students who love to work hard. The courses are hard and studying is a big part of the UVA culture. Partying is as well, especially on the weekends.
