Is the stereotype of students at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University accurate?

Wynne

There are a few cows but it's definitely not a farm town!

Kelly

Yes

Kate

I think that what I had heard ended up being completely accurate

Andy

Probably not.

Ashley

Some of them are! We are very laid back, but some of us bust our butts here at school. You get out of it what you put in. We definitely know how to party, but I wouldn't call us a "party school". I have never felt pressured to go out, or that drinking was the only social outlet. We have a huge alumni network and we are just one big family. Once a Hokie, always a Hokie.

Andy

Yes.

Meg

I don't think so. I see people from all walks of life. Everyday on campus I hear people talking on cell phones in different languages. Yes overall it's a fairly clean cut, preppish environment but it's not like VT doesn't have a mixture of everyone.

The stereotype about Tech being a place solely for engineering is completely false. Males do comprise most of the Tech population but it is not nerdy engineering guys. And yes, Tech students are OBSESSED with Hokie football and will always be die hard fans.
