I love the Virginia Tech campus! It perfectly organized with all academic building, dorms, ect. all close together. For having such a large amount of students our campus is very condensed and easily accessible which makes it even better! The only thing I would change is having a dining hall on the side of campus where the academic buildings are. There also is sometimes many complaints about parking situations not be great. But other than that, I absolutely love tech!

The town is small and filled with bars that are packed on a nightly basis. There is always something to do and somewhere to go. GREAT social scene. Football season is the best and tailgating is a requirement. I wouldn't go to any other school. Coming to Virginia Tech is the best thing I have ever done.

Lauren

The best thing about Virginia Tech is the close community feel of the campus. And, of course, football season!

Kai

The thing I like best about VT is that students can become as involved or not involve as they would like. No one is here holding your hand and pushing you into things. It leaves you time to care about the things you really want to care about.

SPRIRT. Love for Orange and Maroon. Large school but everyone crosses paths, especially with Facebook you can see how many friends you have in common. If you get involved the campus becomes a lot smaller. People know of Virginia Tech, especially with April 16th, but there is a LOT of Hokie Pride out there. College town is very small but everyone feels protective about it-it's a beautiful place but not much shopping. Christiansburg is like a second home to me. I spend most of my time in the dining halls on campus or in the classrooms.

I love Virginia Tech! If I could change something I think it would be to get rid of some professors here. A lot of people recently ask about 4/16 but that's not the only thing that has happened here. We are an amazing school full of a diverse group of people which is what we are all about.

I love my school the size is perfect because i love the independence of a big school people are very impressed that i go to VT definitely a college town i spend 99.9{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of my time on campus bc i'm a freshman with no car COMMUNITY... i feel like we have the strongest sense of community, i love it I get chills thinking about football games and just random nights riding the bus when someone will break out into a LETS GO HOKIES! chants everyone hate the math empo... blah i like it, it's a great place to study, but online math classes do suck!

Virginia Tech is very closely tied to our community. The Town of Blacksburg is a really amazing place and the townies love the Hokies just like we do. Football is indescribable. When you walk into Lane Stadium, you're home. The noise can be heard across campus and the school pride that everyone shares is amazing. Also, our campus is gorgeous. I have heard comments that all the buildings look the same because they are all made of Hokie Stone but that is so wrong. When you walk across the Drillfield (the center of campus) especially at night, it can take your breath away.

Emily

The best thing about being at VT is how close our community has come in the last year. I wouldn't trade this past year for anything because it challenged me and helped me grow.
