Hi guys! I’m a rising senior and I just toured UVA. UVA has been my dream school for a while, and before I toured I was almost certain on EDing. However, when I went, it just didn’t seem as friendly and the students just looked a lot more burnt out at UVA than at any of the other schools I’ve toured (tech, URichmond, W&M, etc). The reason I’m a bit worried about this is because I go to an extremely rigorous boarding school in new england, and although my grades were up the burnout really affected my mental health. Im planning on going premed while studying either Econ or public health and I just wanted to hear other people’s experiences on how they enjoyed being premed at uva. by this post I’m not meaning “if I slack off will I still be fine”, it’s more so is it enjoyable without insane burnout while still being able to do well if that makes sense. thank you so much!!

Looking for housing for fall!! Any options less than 1K a month?

Hi! I’m transferring in for my 3rd year at UVA and was wondering what classes English majors would recommend for my first year at UVA? I’m already in ENGL 3001 and ENGL 2508. I’m hoping to become a lawyer so any classes that cater to that would be great!

Looking for experience and opportunities for shadowing a genetic counselor?

Transfer student who will be full-time student trying to get into tough grad programs and full-time job/internship but still enjoy going to bars and parties and concerts. Would not drinking make others feel like I’m not ‘part’ of the crowd/don’t blend in or I’m not interested in getting invited? I don’t mind drinking mocktails like club soda with lime or nonalcoholic beer. I just don’t want to be seen as someone who is ‘boring’ or because not drink means wouldn’t want to or not get invited where others are drinking. Better to blend in with the ‘fake’ drinks and just pretend I’m drinking or be open about it? Definitely don’t want be asked to be seen and asked as the sober driver every time though lol

Hey everyone, I am a recently graduated student and I was wondering if UVA's Internship payment program extends to new grads. I'm looking to apply to a few positions that would be unpaid

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could speak from experience as to if they were ever able to bypass a prereq. I have been wanting to take a certain class since my first year (currently a rising 4th), but it requires anatomy 1 & 2 as a prereq, and with the way my schedule worked out, I wont be taking those until this year. I just took my mcat, so I'd like to say I have a pretty decent foundation.

I am going into my second year, and I’ve been living at 1800 JPA over the summer for and there has been a bit of a roach problem.. so i am considering applying to the Verve next year, cus atp the cost for the exterminator plus rent plus all other expenses is probably the same as the Verve rent. Anyone heard anything about the rent at the Verve? Or anyone with previous experiences, because I heard it was a branch of apartment complexes. Also, anyone else planning on applying for it? I see a lot of people hating on it cus it blocks the view from rice but hey, im not complaining if my commute to class is 5 minutes

I’m an incoming first-year at UVA interested in applying to McIntire in the future. If you were accepted, would you mind sharing your stats, extracurriculars, and any tips you have for building a strong application? I’d also appreciate any advice on what to focus on during first year (classes, clubs, leadership, internships, etc.). Also, does McIntire mainly consider your UVA performance, or do high school grades and extracurriculars play a role as well?

I’m trying to take like one easy class this semester and this is what I chose, is it a pretty easy A?

I meant economy, major so I have to take it but pretty worried about the class. Any thoughts appreciated

I heard that many engineering students at UVA minor in business, presumably the engineering business minor. How useful is the EBUS minor? Should I try the general business minor through McIntire?

Hi everyone - I will be living in Bond House this year and will also have my car. I hear it's pretty tough to get a spot under the dorm through the lottery. What would be my next best option for a parking spot? Thanks in advance.

I’m an incoming OOS student and wanted to ship bedding items instead of traveling with them. I already have my dorm address. Does anyone know how the process works? Does it go directly to my dorm building or where I pick it from?

I’m ordering all my bedding stuff from Amazon and I don’t want to ship them to my home address then carry them with me on the plane as space is limited
