Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Top Questions

We are Virginia Tech and very respectful, courteous, and supportive on one another.

My peers are easy going, fun loving, hard working, and eager to help anyone with any problem.

Easy-going and intelligent people that are serious about their academic and their future careers.

Everyone is pretty friendly and involved in many different activities but that does not deter them from working hard in their classes as well.

There is a variety of students here, so you can find people like you or people you want to be like and avoid the others.

I would describe my classmates as smart, well-rounded, diverse individuals.

Very casual, kind of a hippie environment when I was there which I loved. You definitely didn't have to 'go Greek'--there were tons of other things to do besides go to fraternity parties. A lot of people are from Northern VA but I also met people from all over the place and I think that's becoming even more true based on the students I now interview there.

Love them.

No one would feel out of place here. As far as what to wear to class- you could throw on jeans, flip flops and a tshirt and feel right at home. There are lots of students from VaBeach and the RIC, but quite a lot of people come from PA, NJ and MD, to name a few. People dont tend to talk about how much money they will make when they graduate - it's not really in our values to talk about things like that since we dont really feel that we're in college to be set up in a job to make money but in college to learn so we can get a job that we will be happy with and have a happy life.

I think it is nice how casual the place is. No one really feels the need to dress up for class it is totally cool to go just out of bed
