<p>what are they? how's the poli sci prograM?</p>
<p>UVA's biggest strength, IMO, is the balance between social life, extracurriculars and academics. I know that that sounds vague, but it's relatively unique to the University.</p>
<p>At the undergraduate level, any good school will be good in most bread & butter departments, like political science (government). I would be more concerned about picking a school that you like and that has strong overall academics.</p>
<p>I think the Poli sci program is great. My roommate is a Political and Social Thought major. But you have to achieve a certain GPA to get in, so it's selective.</p>
