Other than Engineering, UVA is a great school!

It's the most private school of any public schools. 17,000 undergraduate students with $10B endowment. There is NO other public schools with that $ per student. Much smaller classes than UCB/UCLA. Much fewer TAs whose English is really hard to understand :) Many kids from New England prep schools -- not saying it's always a good thing but just pointing out its century-long recruiting fact.
