<p>@marlinfan,
the girls here do dress very well ( I live very close and my dad works on campus.) If you want to dress casual though, UVa apparel seems to be the norm. So buy yourself plenty of Cav sweatpants/shirts and Ts. I have NEVER seen pajamas on campus (maybe in the classes? or between dorms?) but never outside. Then there is the jean and t-shirt look that is very common. And the other most common would be your “prep” look (and not Abercrombie or AE mind you, J.Crew, Anthropologie, and perhaps, Gap).</p>
<p>This also changes between where you are. Rugby Rd. is pretty strictly the last one. The corner is so as well but with more of the others. The lawns, however, are a pretty balanced mixed of all three.</p>
<p>Oh, and one more thing, though the classes seem to be easily categorized, the attitudes here don’t. Girls here ARE very intelligent but nothing else can be generalized. </p>
<p>Anyways, it seems as if you have already made your decision. Congrats! Don’t sweat it and don’t try so hard to figure out the people. With a school so large, it’s impossible and it will only make you come in with preconceived notions. Come here and try it out! You’re bound to find your niche and fall in love with it.</p>
