Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Top Questions

The worst thing about Virginia Tech is the amount of people. Sometimes, it is nice to be surrounded by so many happy students, but it is difficult to realize that you are just one of 30,000 people in a small(ish) area.

The cold weather. Walking on the drill field when it is 20 degrees outside and 30 mph winds is just miserable.

Maybe the lack of diversity (probably not the best word?), don't get me wrong there's a good amount of people from different backgrounds here, myself included, but everyone seems to act the same and be interested in the same things and there are those rare different people that seem to actually be interesting. Which has actually made it hard for me to make friends because I can't find people with some of the same interests as me.

The largness of the student body and the parties, but the parties will be found at any school.

The worst thing about my school is the weather. Although this school is considered to be in the south, does not mean it is warm here. Blacksburg can experience very unpredictable weather becuase we are located in the mountains. One day the temperatures can be in the 70s and the next day we are getting 6 inches of snow. The worst part of the weather is the wind. In certain places on campus it can feel as though you are walking through a wind tunnel. When the weather is nice, Blacksburg is one of the prettiest places to be.

The worst thing about Virginia Tech is probably the weather. Located in the mountain of Blacksburg, Virginia, this university has very rough winters of snow and wind. The main quad of campus, the drillfield, is a treacherous place to cross on a windy snowy day. The drillfield separates freshmen dorms from the classrooms, so it was a frequent obstacle for me to cross.

How far away Walmart is.

Communicating within and outside of your major and ethinicity can be difficult because attending a large school can easily make a person feel out of place.

The worst thing I believe about Virginia Tech is just that it gets pretty cold in the winter. I've never really enjoyed cold weather so being in a place where it snows quite a bit and drops below freezing for large parts of the winter is not something I particularly like.

The long food lines in the dining halls. We have to time when to get food or we will wait in line for a while.
