Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Top Questions

The big picture is that when I see students on a tour I want to get in the group and tel them how they should come here> i wish everyone could have the experience I've had.

what's great about tech is that even though its a big school there are so many ways to get involved and make it seem smaller. Even as a freshman it was hard for me to go any place where i didnt run into someone i knew.

I think the best thing about VT is the pride that the students and faculty have in the school. The amount of school spirit is contagious and you cannot help but just want to automatically chime in as soon as you hear "LETS GO...HOKIES"

Virginia Tech is a big school but it does not feel big. I think it is a tightly knit community for how large it is. it is a friendly and fun place to be. There is a ton of school pride. Football games are the most fun.

The best thing about Virginia Tech... the people!! The students are so personable and friendly. I was immediately drawn to this school just by taking a tour and seeing the students walking around. Everyone is so happy to be here and always wearing a smile. We have amazing school pride. Maroon and Orange is in our blood. The atmosphere is wonderful and Blacksburg is a great college town. The school's size is just right. You can walk across campus and see 15 people you know and 100 new faces. VT is a never-ending network of friends. There are too many great experiences to name just one. I've had awesome times at football games, tubing the new river, hiking the cascades with friends, and just hanging out on campus.

The best thing about Tech is our spirit. We are very unified and I love that.

Amazing school spirit! Southern hospitality and manners. Crazy about Hokie football! No other college can compare to the love that the students have for their school. I would relive my college years all over again if I could.

The best thing about Tech is the sense of belonging and family. Everywhere I go, I see orange and maroon and everytime I see someone with a VT logo, I just want to scream, "GO HOKIES!" I get nothing but positive reactions when I tell people I go to Tech (unless they are from UVA, and then they are just jealous). Blacksburg is the ideal college town and I love it here! School pride on and off campus is insane; if you live here, you are a Hokie. I will always remember my first football game and Enter Sandman came on and I got goosebumps (I still get goosebumps when I hear it).

I LOVE MY SCHOOL!!!! I honestly do not think there is anythin gi would change!!!

Virginia tech is a huge school but it's the perfect size for me. There are enough people that not every body will know your personal business and also enough people to find a lot of people that you love.

The big picture: If you want college to last more than 4 years...come to Virginia Tech. The alumni relations at this school are awesome. This is a true small but yet beautiful college town. Just imagine living in a town with all people your age! Football is the best season of the year! The commadery among the students, faculty and alumni is proud and understanding.

Tech is a great school, lots of school pride. blacksburg needs to be a little bit more of a college town and fix up the downtown area.

The school is just right. You have thousands of people, but everyone is connected by a friend of a friend. People are impressed when I tell them I go to Virginia Tech. There is a lot of hokie spirit!

Virgnia Tech is simply the best! I have never met so many incredibly nice people in my life. When it comes to the size of our school, it is just right. It is not too big and obviously not too small. For as big as we are i still find myself saying hi to people i know daily. Being from the north, i get great reactions when people find out i go to Virginia Tech. I mean common we are just simply the best! We have such a great community and the most beautiful campus you will ever see, the Hokie stone is what we are known for! The college town is filled with amazing restaurants and defiantly a few nice bars, so you won’t find yourself lonely on Thursday nights! As for our Hokie spirit, "LET’S GO HOKIES!!!" You will always spot maroon and orange colors on our campus. This community is filled with so much spirit, love and pride for its university. So join us for the most amazing experience of your life!

Best school spirit and pride out of any college I have ever visited

My favorite thing about Virginia Tech is the atmosphere. Everyone is laid back, focused, and fun loving.

The best thing about Virginia Tech is the sense of community here... it feels like home even though I'm 8 hours away from my family. It is a big school, but getting involved in activities makes it feel a lot smaller. People wonder about Virginia Tech after the shootings, but I am STILL SO PROUD TO GO HERE! It is not a scary or dangerous school and anyone would be lucky to go here, it is a warm and loving community. Theres a lot of great places on campus to hang out whether its in the student center or for a cup of coffee or my favorite place, the duck pond. There's a lot to do off campus. I am from New York so I am used to having a lot more to do, but there are plenty of cool college bars. I think the administration at Tech like any has soem problems, but when it comes to the handling of 4-16 I am so proud of the way our administration led us through the whole thing.

The best thing about Virginia Tech is the unity and intense Hokie spirit. You feel like you are a part of the Hokie family immediately upon arriving on campus. The school seems large by the numbers, but once you are here for a few weeks you realize everyone is connected and the school seems a lot smaller. The administration is very helpful, faculty holds a lot of office hours to make sure you have a successful student career. Most complaints are that the dining halls are too crowded (because the food is so good here!) or that Parking Services is really unfair and gives out too many tickets. School pride here is off the charts, you won't find more spirit at any other school.

The best thing about VT is the spirit. Everyone here - LOVES IT, including me. Football season has contributed to some of the very best memories of my life. It is big (25,000) but has a small feel thanks to the consolidated campus and college town location.

VTech is amazing. Honestly, coming all the way from CT I was a little nervous that I had made a bad decision to go so far, but I am obsessed now. I never want to leave. Everyone I have met... students, faculty, staff, and other members of the VTECH community are all so welcoming, kind, and compassionate. The community is tight knit, and truely feels like a family. If i ever see a fellow Hokie outside of campus, I always say hello, and they always say it back. It just an easy place to find your own nitch, no matter what type of person you are. Vtech is not prejudice, not judgemental. We are open, welcoming, and loving. No matter who you are, where your from, or what you do... you will fall in love with Virginia Tech.
