<p>classes dropped, higher tuition, fees, room and board, greater student enrollment etc. - YES
teachers fired, - NO but there is a hiring freeze so people are leaving and they can’t hire replacements or give raises (supposedly)</p>
<p>For jobs in NY/DC, UVA is more renowned than Michigan for sure. Are you getting a partial or full athletic scholarship? Vigilante is a great coach and the program is on the rise.</p>
<p>“Ivy League like atmosphere (kids dressing up for their classes, polos, backwards hats, etc.)”</p>
<p>I don’t think that’s a good description of the Ivy League atmosphere at all. To the extent that you can generalize, you’re a lot more likely to see an Ivy League kid in class in pajama pants than “dressed up.” I see a lot more sweatshirts and tees than I do polo shirts.</p>
<p>The style of dress is not specifically what he was referring to, but the attiitude of the school; an ivy league attitude would be one of privelege, entitlement, and superiority. Either academic superiority or by wealth and rank. Obviously not all students fit under this stereotype, but after my visit to Penn, in which I was exclusively with athletes, I could since that attitude from some students. I went to prep school up until 10th grade and being back at Penn brought all of thes memories back. One could obviously sense the disdain some students had for athletes.</p>
<p>To Barboza: since I haven’t commited yet, I can’t tell you an exact number(and also for confidentiality reasons) but it’d be around 100%.</p>
<p>There are athletes (such as the international ones) who fit in and are nice to have conversations with, and then there are athletes who don’t seem to have any intellectual passion for anything in particular, not even their major.</p>
