ABOUT MAJORS College Junior 17 days Majors: To select the Government major, you simply fill out paperwork listing your coursework that qualifies you for the major and list the courses you plan to take to satisfy the requirements to graduate. It couldn't be easier.
4 College Junior 17 days ago Majors: The classes are interesting and challenging, but not too challenging to pass. The department sounds out listserv emails with job opportunities, events, and other information like that as conferences.
5 College Sophomore 5 days ago Academics: Academics are definitely a strong point at UVA. Professors are extremely knowledgeable and, for the most part, willing to help. While students know how to have fun, academics never suffer and are understood to be a priority. There is a strong competitive atmosphere when it comes to academics and achieving a 4.0 is sought after, but extremely difficult because of the high caliber of the classes. Its not ranked one of the top public schools in the nation for nothing, UVA deserves all the recognition it gets!
College Sophomore Campus Strictness: Not too strict but you don't feel unsafe! The strictest thing is the honor code but that's a good thing because it means you can leave your backpack somewhere for hours and no one will steal it :)
Senior student: Honor is a very big thing at UVa. If caught drinking in dorms you could get suspended. During finals week there are quiet hours and if you violate them you can get written up.
