Now, experts are weighing in on what has changed in Virginia and the main factor -- and arguably the biggest factor in the country -- is the shifting demographics.

“The committee leader meets all the top contributors in America,” noted Larry Sabato, who heads the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “You also meet all the key activists” in the party.

The study was carried out by researchers at the University of Washington, University of Virginia, and the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.
They can also play down previous disagreements, says Kristin Behfar, a professor of business administration at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business.

A bite from the lone star tick, so-called for the white spot on its back, looks innocent enough. But researchers say saliva that sneaks into the wound might trigger a reaction to meat agonizing enough to convert lifelong carnivores into wary vegetarians. "People will eat beef and then anywhere from three to six hours later start having a reaction; anything from hives to full-blown anaphylactic shock," said Dr. Scott Commins, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
If you're ultimately looking to work in New York, every BigLaw lawyer's dream city, the University of Virginia is your best bet for school.
