What is UVA good at?

<p>As noted above, I think UVa's med school is quite good; my cousin goes there. We recently visited Charlottesville (my immediate family lives in Northern Virginia), and the campus is quite nice. However, they are pretty finicky about seniority, especially for a state U. Only certain "acknowledged" upperclassmen can have dorms in the old courtyard near Thomas Jefferson's building (the names escape me right now). </p>

<p>The atmosphere at UVa also seems to be quite mellow, and it seems that people are a bit more "preppy" there (no stereotypes, just observations).</p>

<p>Just my impressions from talking to my cousin and visiting the campus.</p>

<p>it's ok if you don't have any Bio classes after your first year... you can still be a Bio major and graduate in 4 years.</p>

<p>Use the opportunity of not getting into what you know you wanted/like to take another class in a different field. Afterall if everyone only took classes for their major they'd be done in less than 2 years...</p>
