Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Top Questions

The worst part about this school is the fact that you cannot take most of the classes for which you signed up. They overbook the amount of students capable of learning on campus and this forces upper-classmen to "force-add" their classes for graduation.

The only complaint I have about this school is some of the professors do not seem to care for your performance.

I wish it was more culturally diverse, especially more African American.

I love VT Tech but it is sometimes hard to be in a large classroom setting. I have had to learn to work on my own with a lot of my first year classes being in an auditorum style setting. However, the professors do give individual conferences as needed. Some elective classes , that are not in my major ,take up more of my time than classes in my major. I find that frustrating because I want to be more focused in my business classes and spend more time learning that material.

Going to class in bad weather because most of the time to get to class you have to walk across the "drill field" and when it's windy/rainy/snowing the weather is about 10 times worse when walking across the drill field.

The worst thing about my school is sometimes the lack of diversity because although it is diverse it seems as though it could be more diverse.

The worst thing about Virginia Tech is that the dorm rooms do not get wireless internet. One cannot be in the residence hall and on the internet without being connected to an ethernet connection.

The academic couselors, there office hours are rediculous and when you go in for help they act like you are waisting their time. I though that I paid my tuition for their time.

The football ticket lottery because it's so hard for students to win tickets for the games if they can't buy season tickets yet.

People tend to click together. Most people here know someone and join in a group with the people they already know. They do not branch out very often.
