Being in college in the first place has given me the opportunity to learn many new things about being independent and about life. I have learned many essential things about living on my own-- especially how to make many interesting and creative microwavable meals and how to do my own laundry! As far as classes go, each and every professor and teacher's assistant are very qualified to teach the classes. Many of the professors are actually the authors of their own textbooks, so you know that they really know what they're talking about!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I could not imagine going to any other college! Wahoowa!
At first, the idea of going to college was scary. But once I had spent a week here I really found that it fit everything I was looking for in a college. Though there are SO MANY fun activities to take part in, the thing that I loved the most was that you can tell that everyone is very dedicated to their studies and their education. Another thing that I love is that you are able to see so many different people when you look around. The location of UVa is ideal also, with many shopping centers close by.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Though I did get a couple scholarships coming into college, UVa is definitely worth what you pay, especially for an in-state student. The experience here is so valuable that I couldn't even put a price tag on it... even though there is one!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't be afraid to go to college! I know that in high school I was SO ready to get out of there and out of my house. I needed something new. But when the time came for me to actually pack my bags and boxes and head down to Charlottesville, it was terrifying! In no time though, I realized that I had nothing to be afraid of, because UVa was awesome and was everything I was looking forward to in a college :)
Which types of students will excel at your college?
I'd say that UVa is for those who are serious about learning, but not too serious to not have fun every once in a while! You must be a willing student who wants to take the time to read the textbooks and study hard for tests.
