<p>Yep that's why I looked at UVA too. I want a more challenging environment and want to hang out with people that want to learn outside the classroom. Penn State is pretty laid back too but a bit too much for my liking! But yeah, there will be drinking everywhere I go...its a part of college life. I'm not totally against drinking though. I just hate it when people drink a lot just for the hell of it.</p>
<p>3.2 is not bad at all in engineering. And since you're in-state you might have a good shot of getting in. I don't know how much they look at high school stuff though.</p>
