What's unique about your campus?

Kelsey

I'd have to say the best thing about my school is the extreme sense of community. From young kids, to students, to alumni...we all share such a love for our school that no matter where you are in the world, if you see another hokie, you know you've found a friend.

Alma

The best thing about my school is its community and sense of unity. Everyone is nice to each other and are full of that school spirit - the spirit transfers to all the areas in the nation. Whenever one Hokie sees another, there exists an imaginary connection because they carry Tech with them wherever they go.

Jacqueline

The best thing about my school is being able to go anywhere in the entire word and be recognized as a Hokie. The school spirit here is unfathomable. I feel like I am apart of a never ending family. I am able to receive the help and guidance I need with no problem. Making friends was extremely easy because there are so many things to get involved in, so finding similar interests with other people was easy. Becoming a Hokie is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Jamie

The best thing about our school is the close-knit community among students. People are very friendly and willing to get to know you. I also like that we can compete athletically, yet have a strong academic background.

Taylor

I consider the overall campus of Virginia Tech to be the best thing. When you walk into Virginia Tech you are walking on a pathway of memories. The scenery of the school is beautiful and I feel a sense of comfort just being there. Projects that the students have accomplished are seen everywhere. I love seeing that our school has done so much for the community as well as contributing to the world of technology.

Margaret

The best thing about Virginia Tech is the school spirit. It makes everyone feel involved in the college and proud to be a Hokie!

Kathy

The food on campus was the best - Virginia Tech is known for the food provided on campus. There was always a lot of choices and dining areas. The downfall is the lines. Tech has a lot of students and faculty and lines could get really long during certain times. During certain times of the year, dining halls would also host a special holiday meal, such as Thanksgiving or Ice Cream sessions during testing week.
