What impressed you positively?

Dr. Canterbury impressed all six of us when he rattled off a bunch of personal facts on each of us from memory. His slide show about the innovative curriculum and all the construction going on was awesome. Then the tour by two fourth-years really blew me away. Everyone that I interacted with there was really nice and eager to answer questions. Besides all that, Charlottesville seems like a great town with lots of small restaurants and ethnic food.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing that I can remember

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To be honest I was expecting UVA to be very intimidating and formal. Instead, all of the students and faculty were very welcoming and friendly.
