Honestly, how great or bad UVA depends on your own initiative. It's a large enough school so that you can get lost, or use the University resources to really make a space for yourself. You want greek, you have it. Greek isn't your thing? Here are some other options: internationals (from which country? there's so many), intellectuals (can you say Jefferson Society), party animals (there's multiple bar nights every night), chill wine and dine people…. it's a microcosm so you can find anything. As for classes, again, it's what you make of them. You can go through your Economics or History classes and just do the readings, get through the work…or you can suggest interesting paper topics, work hard on your thesis, do some experimental economics independent study… i mean, i even went on a fully paid trip to the caribbean with one of my history classes. Extracurricular: there's money, all you need is an idea. You can start a magazine, a new frat, a new sorority, a new intramural sport, teach yoga, or just sit on your butt. CoNCLUSIon: uva is what you make of it.P.S. Yes c'ville is a small place, but it has TONS of cool stuff to do (typical college bars, frat parties, cool city like grad bars, hundreds of fine restaurants, tea bar, gay club, REV club, private parties, movies… just use your imagination, and if you refuse to do that, then you can always drive 2 hours to Washington D.C., which is a whole other story).
