Describe the students at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Andy

The students are active and friendly.

Ashley

We don't have a great deal of diversity on our campus, but we still embrace it with open arms. We have students from every walk of life, ethnicity, religious background, and soci-economic standing. We are very tolerant of difference. Most students here are laid back, middle class, average kids. We were hoodies and sweats to class and occasionally dress it up. Most students are from Virginia, New Jersey, of Pennsylvania.

Andy

People are not perfect.

Meg

Polite and classy. A solid cut above. Friendly and looking to have fun. Amazing unity and school spirit.

Dana

Virginia Tech is not that diverse of a university. Increased efforts have been made but there still remains a majority. Despite the lack of diversity, students share similar habits. Everyone wears Tech apparel to class; some days jeans, others sweats (depending on how late you were up the night before doing work/studying). Most students are from Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina but there are several students from abroad.

I think that VT has a lot of differnt aspects that people do not know about. I have been to many speaker on campus including the muslim group and CRU

Chris

Techs student body is really laid back. For the most part we wear hoodies and jeans. Everybody is really tolerant of different races and religions. Its is a predominately white school though.

Mel

For the most part Tech is pretty good at integrating. We lack a little bit on diversity but since freshman year, i have seen a great change in this area. Students wear pretty much anything they want...you can definitely be yourself, and still be appreciated at this school. Most Virginia Tech students are from VA..i mean who would want to go out of state when you have Tech!?!?!? There are people from all over the world though!

Alex

Very large, very diverse. same people hold all the leadership roles

Brett

No student will ever feel out of place at Virginia Tech. We are a big Hokie family and love everyone who steps into our circle. We have students from all over the place, not just from Virginia. Everyone is truly welcoming, friendly and super sweet.
