What our students say....
Welcome! At U.Va., we believe the importance of the global community cannot be overstated, and this belief is reflected in our commitment to international students. Approximately 5 percent of our entering classes are foreign nationals; these students’ voices, visions for the future, and dedication to improving their countries and their world benefit and inspire all students and faculty, and their contribution can be felt everywhere on Grounds—through class discussion, research projects, dorm and social activities, friendships, and more.
In short, international students change and shape the way learning happens at U.Va., and we believe that their impact not only widens and enriches individual students’ university experience—it also allows our students to enter the wider world better prepared to greet opportunities and meet challenges.
