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

Whitney

We have parties, yes. We have a great football and I, myself am I season ticket holder. And personally I grew up in the area and am a little country---I may not be proof that the stereotypes are inaccurate but they really are. I've met so many different types of people that it is impossible to believe everyone here fits into that mold.

Mel

Yes

Alex

that one is.

Amanda

No, there ARE those types of people,but it does not describe the university as a whole.

Shelby

the first four, don't have any proof for the last one

Tate

VT is a really good university for math and science, especially engineering, but there are a lot of other departments and majors that are just as strong.

Eliza

I don't think so...obviously

Torry

most are false. generally students here are intelligent and most are from suburbia, not rural areas. there are some rednecks though

For the most part, the football does include many of the students at Tech, but there are still students who don't care about sports whatsoever and its not the reason they came to tech. For majors, all are hard and easy depending where your strengths lie - if you love math then go for being an Engineer and if writing is your fort-ay then go for Communications. And then with the shooting which is what Tech is now mostly known for it seems is there are a lot that weren't there but either way we were all either directly or indirectly affected.
