Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Top Questions

Many people refuse to even look into going to our school since the massacre in April 2007, however, since then the community has become even closer and we want more potential students to acknowledge all of our accomplishments and know that our campus truly is safe.

The worst thing I would consider at my school would be the diversity because there is a small diversity factor at my school. There is more majority than minority depsite the effort by the board of vistors to increase the diversity on campus. As the years go on, there has been an increase but not enough to see the difference. The diversity factor would help to attract more individuals that may be capable of doing outstanding for the tye of institution I attend (research- based). Diversity has been a big issue at my school and could change the university itself.

The parking. There are a lot of students that go here, and not nearly enough parking spots on campus.

Large class sizes. It's hard to get to know any professors on a one-on-one basis.

The multitude of people. Personally, I feel comfortable talking to strangers so it's easy for me to find friendships, but for most people at a large school it's hard for them to find their place if they don't try with effort to join school clubs/organizations/sports teams.

The weather condition of the school .

The cold in the winter.

The worst thing about our school is the parking. It is difficult for students who live off campus and have to find parking. I know that they are building a parking garage in the main commuter lot which will be a great help. At least Virginia Tech is aware of teh parking situation and they are being proactive!

its in the middle of nowhere; very rural

The great food that it has is making me very fat.
