Parking. With over 18,000 commuter students , there is nowhere near enough parking for all of us. Sure there are buses but they get crowded and are not time friendly if your running late. Most parking is for faculty and staff. Almost everyday you can find atleast two faculty staff lots that are less than half full, while other students drive around for over 15 minutes to find a spot in or der to make it to class.

The only bad thing I could say about my school is that a lot of times the class doesn't participate when the professor asks questions. Usually, our classes have at least 200 people and that makes students nervous to speak in front of such a large audience.

Probably just the competitiveness that it takes to get into certain things. I am in the Marching Band and it is very competitive to be a part of. My minor is theatre, so the plays and one acts are competitive, and to simply be a part of organizations can sometimes be cut throat. But competition is great, it pushes us to be better. Other than that I can't find anything bad to say!

Lack of downtown activities on weekends. Because it is in the mountains, your are limited to what the town itself has to offer and it could offer more activities.

It tends to rain a lot in Blacksburg, and for most of the school year it is very cold and sometimes snowy; other than the bipolar weather, the campus is absolutely beautiful.
