Overall experience

Electrical Engineering

My experience at the University has been great!! It's ranked no.1 in the nation among public universities. I cannot imagine being anywhere else. There's something here for everyone. If you get in here, DO NOT turn it down. The campus is beautiful; the professors are helpful; and most students are friendly and fun!We have state of the laboratories. The courses are challenging, INCREDIBLY hard and require a ton of work, but it is the objective of most professors that their students truly learn and understand the material being presented. At first students seem to come off as a little arrogant, but if you get to know them, most are actually quite friendly.The apartments in the campus are quite decent but are expensive. Charlottesville may not be the biggest city, but there definitely are things to do. Charlottesville has a lot of good places to eat, but not really too much else. UVA home football games are superb.UVA is a great school.
