Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Lisa

From my perspective, my school is best known for caring and respectful.

Megan

Sadly, in recent years, I feel like Virginia Tech is well known for the horrible events of April 16th and more recent deaths as well. The community of Blacksburg is also very supportive to students and the comfort offered is breathtaking and, to be honest, downright inspiring. I have never seen a more tightly knit community than that formed between Virginia Tech and the surrounding Blacksburg area. It is that sense of community that helps all of us to remain strong even in the face of something as horrible as what happened on April 16th.

My school is best known for intense school spirit and inclusion. At Virginia Tech students look out for other students, because it is like we are one big hokie family. Even after graduating, in the job market hokies will go out of their way for fellow hokies. I love that I am a part of a big organization that will follow me long after I graduate. Also we are known for our strong academics and community service with our motto being ?Ut Prosim? meaning ?that I may serve.?
