<p>Thank you for all the interesting and insightful comments. I do appreciate your thoughtful responses. It does ease my mind about the lecture type classes. I went to a very large university and the memories of sitting in a lecture hall with 300 other students and the prof. having no idea who was there ( or caring) sends chills down my spine. That is so not her style. But certainly she could handle some of that. My d is the type who would probably seek out the professors and that sounds like it is quite doable ( and fun at times)at UVA . She will have to look at the course offerings to see if the focus is something she might be interested in. Thanks again.</p>
