r/UVA

What is the easiest foreign language to take at UVA? I took German for 3 years in HS, but I'm not particularly attached to it and lowkey forgot everything.

Hello! I am incoming Grad student and I am only taking 4 credits this summer am I still eligible for summer aid? I haven’t heard anything from the financial aid office. What should I do?

Just let everyone know UPD is enforcing the NO bikes on sidewalks. I've seen them write several tickets today near the lawn.

Donate a dollar to Tom Perriello campaign for every minute he is here.

Want to take a practice computer exam for a few hours

Hi. incoming first year. Is it feasible for me to get involved with EMS next year? Quick google search points towards the CARS, wondering if its common for students to work there.

Thank you

Hey everyone, it's Matt again.

I wanted to give you guys an update on where the collection's at right now. Our back-end system with CollectiveAccess is near completion, and we've made significant progress with our front-end. I'll attach a sneak peek of what the website looks like. I've also attached some photos of garments that we have on display at the front entrance of the Drama School. Feel free to check them out in person!

If you guys have any suggestions regarding the website or even the collection, please share!

please send your recs: i’m trying to find one more 3 credit class to add to my schedule. i’m looking for anything related to comm, law, psych, sociology, etc that also fulfills a requirement. lmk your experience with the professors as well.

i feel like that’s lowkey a lot to ask and that would probably explain why im struggling to find a class but any help is appreciated!!

also if you have any recs for more “fun” classes that fulfill requirements please lmk as well!!

i genuinely got 0 achievements since i've came here. no hackathons no nothing. can i put my hs ecs on here like varsity letter n stuff or is that just a straight hail mary </3.

I listen in shuffle but it works whatever way you choose to listen

this may sound dumb but i need more opinions on this lol:

i’m choosing my classes and long story short, i need to take engagements. because engagements are 2 credits each, im not able to add a 6th class without it going over 15 credits. should i drop an engagement for now so i can get into the class i want and then just pick up a random engagement when open enrollment starts? or should i prioritize the engagement? (the class im adding isn’t 100% necessary, it’s just a class im adding so im not under 15 credits)

Trying to decide between UVA and Georgetown for math/physics.

UVA

Pros:

* In-state tuition (total cost around $30-35K per year)

* Echols scholars (no gen eds, priority registration, potentially better access to research)

* Better STEM program

Cons:

* Somewhat big state school energy

* More frat/party culture

* In a more suburban environment + bigger campus

* Not as many study abroad programs (at least from my understanding)

* Visited and liked it but didn’t love it

* I’d probably need to bring a car later in college (I prefer public transport tbh)

Georgetown

Pros:

* Smaller school

* Urban environment

* Visited the school and absolutely loved it

* Lots of study abroad programs

* No need for a car (great public transport and very walkable)

* No official Greek life

* I like the campus more than UVA

* I got good financial aid, so cost is about $42K/year

Cons:

* Smaller STEM program (although, from what I’ve heard, it’s pretty close-knit with good opportunities for research)

* Cost will likely go up once my sibling graduates from college (she’ll only be in college for my first year)

* A little more pre-professional

* I still have gen eds (but I’m honestly really interested in most of them, and I get out of 3 with AP credits)

Hey, I have a spot I am selling for use from May 2nd to July 26th, right near Bank of America on the corner. If anyone is interested, let me know. I know parking can be really difficult for graduation! The price would be around $150 a month, so $450 total, which is less than the lot rate I pay.

if there’s any transfers on here from a VA cc, when did you find out if you applied under the TAG/guaranteed admissions agreement, cause i’d think it’d be earlier? if anyone in the past did this?

also, i did apply to other schools as well while following the requirements for uva GAA, if that’s allowed.
