<p>Here's the thing: from what I've heard at UVA, I absolutely love it! The size, the opportunities, the location, its history, and its academics. However, there's one big turn-off for me. You see, I currently attend a huge public high school in an affluent suburb and although I don't mind it that much anymore, I can't stand how materialistic/preppy/snobby many of my classmates are. Unfortunately, I've heard the same of UVA and the fact that it lacks diversity.</p>
<p>Although I've never visited, my thoughts are leaning that way too. How true is this reputation? And also, what's the overall social atmosphere like over there?</p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>
