<p>Im a new poster here and I was wondering what the campus and surrounding city is like. Also, how far is UVA from DC and B-more and Richmond as I have family in those cities. </p>
<p>Also, does UVA offer a journalism major?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance</p>
<p>Charlottesville is a quaint, tidy little town. I think the corner is a little overrated but I'm from a bigger city so I may have some biases. Anyway, there is enough on grounds which is beautiful by the way and in town not to get too bored during the school year.</p>
<p>As far as driving distance. DC is about two hours away, B-more three hours and Richmond is about 45 min-1 hour away.</p>
<p>UVA does not offer a journalism major...</p>
<p>Another UVA student can probably elaborate on what I've posted but these should answer your questions.</p>
<p>Thanks ummm.. </p>
<p>I'm from a fairly large suburb of Dallas metroplex, so I really don't want to go to too small of a place, but Charlottesville seems like a very nice town. </p>
<p>Is life on the campus fairly balanced?</p>
