<p>somebody in the other thread was saying that "uva has too many jocks and a lot of the students are close-minded and arrogant, and southern-ishh......"</p>

<p>it's not true, is it? :(</p>

<p>Depends on what you think of as "a lot"...yes many are...but then again mane are definitely not. There is a nice niche for most everyone.</p>

<p>Southern people seem scary to me. I am used the lifestyle and the people of California!</p>

4

<p>but are ppl in uva close-minded and arrogant?</p>

5

<p>Close-minded and arrogant? I challenge you to a duel, Sir!</p>

6

<p>Some people are...but the stereotype doesn't apply to "UVa people"...therefore, my answer is no.</p>

<p>"Close-minded and arrogant? I challenge you to a duel, Sir!"</p>

<p>see? not a current student! DAMN! i'm so scared. i hope UVA's social atmosphere is OK</p>

<p>It'll be fine, ThomYorke.</p>

11

<p>Just be ready to wear your collar in the upright position for a couple years...</p>

12

<p>Haha...don't worry...the social scene is NOT scary. And popping is certainly optional.</p>

13

<p>i don't know which tour you went on but I saw alot of collars on the down position...kids seemed to be friendly</p>

14

<p>Closed-minded? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't care to discuss it either, you silly person. Why would I even want to talk to YOU anyway.</p>

<p>Humph.</p>

<p>You know, it really depends on who you hang out with. There will be close-minded and arrogant people at every college. UVa students and alums tend to be successful in life, and it's hard to be successful in this ever more global & internationalized world being close-minded. So no, UVa is not close-minded. </p>

<p>As for arrogance, we're confident and proud of our school, which shouldn't be confused with arrogance.</p>

<p>One might call it Cavalier?</p>

<p>I think globalist put it pretty well. there's types of everything at uva. Furthermore, i think the human race in general is a very closed minded race. </p>

<p>BUT, disclaimers aside, by my definition of "closed minded", i would say that very few of the people i have met during my first year have been such. (If any)</p>

<p>My def. is someone who is unwilling to ever challenge themselves and at least try to see the other side of the argument, even while in total disagreement.</p>
