<p>NY Times article on UVa that gives a glimpse of the campus and touches on a debate related to its architectural heritage. </p>
<p>I would like to get some parent's perspectives. I just completed my first year of college and I currently have a 3.0 average. In high school, I always had good grades and ended up with a 4.1 average. I was a little mad because I didn't get any scholarships from the University I am attending (University of Texas El Paso) because my SAT scores were too low.</p>
<p>Well there is the background information. I wasn't too worried that I didn't receive any scholarhsip money because since I was little, my parents always told me that they would pay for college. The other bad thing was I dropped two classes. I feel like I wasted money. In high school, I had a few odd jobs. Currently, I am unemployed.</p>
<p>I would just like your opinion. Do you think a 3.0 is good and should I get a job? There are a lot of people I talk to that say they don't work, but some say they do. Should I feel like I am a lazy person? Some people say that students shouldn't work in college.</p>
<p>I would just like to know if they are any other situations like mine out there.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
