<p>I like VT's engineering, but thats all they seem to have, and i want a broader education that includes humanities/other sciences...basically, an engineering education with a liberal arts "flare" to it (i've never gotten below a B+ in an english or history class, and i happen to kick butt in english, as i've never had a teacher who hasn't liked my writing style, even though it tends to be a bit lengthy sometimes =P)
i love UVA's broad range of classes, and their slightly liberal arts approach to engineering</p>
