Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Top Questions

It is very difficult to narrow down the thing that I best like about my school to one but if I had to choose it would be the well respected engineering department. It is in the top 20 in the nation. The things that we learn in our course work is amazing and I can not wait until I get to implement it in the work force.

The best thing about my school is how interconnected everyone is especially after the tragedies that Virginia Tech went through and it's nice to know that people will have your back no matter what just because you're a Hokie and Hokies stand together.

The best thing about my school is the school is the sense of community and pride. Coming to Virginia Tech almost Three years after the shootings occured, you can still feel the warmth radiating from the students. Everyone is here for each other and we're proud of our school, our campus, and our students.

The school I attend is very large making it so there is a wide variety of activities, clubs and classes for me.

Food. I have heard friends talk about the food at their school and when I tell them about food at VT, they are shocked. Voted best food in the nation and it is living up to that. Also the campus. It's a large university but the way the campus is set up, it feels like a small school where everyone knows eachother. It's a very nice feeling to feel so close to other students you may have never even seen before.

The best thing about Virginia Tech is the amazing atmosphere about the place. When you look out your dorm window you are faced with white stone buildings that remind you of a fantasy land. The people you meet are so focused on the school and the next football game that sometimes you find yourself wondering what could make you want to leave. The food is fantastic and anywhere you go you find some sort of school spirit. It's one of those places that you feel like you are in a parallel universe that you are reluctant to leave.

The alumni and friends of this college make it extraordinarily welcoming when you visit.

The fact that it is close to home.

What I consider the best thing about Virginia Tech is the Hokie Spirit!! There is just something about being a Hokie that is inviting and makes you feel like Virginia Tech is your home. Every day students are decked out in maroon and orange. During the football games, you do not see an open seat and the fans are cheering the sports teams right along! We have great camaraderie here and I couldn't have picked a better university to attend!

I love how there are so many different things to do and people to meet. You can almost always find someone who can help you with homework or just to hang out with on the weekend. Most students are very career oriented and want to do well in school, but they are also relaxed about it and try not to let too many small things stress them out.

It is beautiful and we have a great football team.

What I would consider to be the best thing about Virginia Tech is the very close-knit community. It is a large campus, but it has a small campus feel. I have never met an unfriendly person here at Virginia Tech or in the surrounding Blacksburg area. Virginia Tech's motto it "Ut Prosim: That I may serve". Community service is huge thing here.

The thing I love most about my school is the feeling you get as soon as you step foot on campus. It has such a close knit community that it feels like everyone is family. I really do feel like there is little prejudice and barely any judgemental attitudes around the campus. Everyone seems to be connected and have respect for each other. Your always greeted with a smile everywhere you go.

The greatest quality that I feel Virginia Tech represents is the strong sense of community throughout the school. Regardless of race, gender, status, or other qualities, everyone can come together and proudly announce that "We Are Virginia Tech" and befriend their fellow hokies.

The extracurriculars because they help you meet new people and find your place on campus. By becoming involved you can make a big campus small.

Even though VT is a big school, there are so many ways that it can seem small and less overwhelming. Get involved! There are so many opportunities out there. Really you have the best of both worlds: all the opportunitites and diversity of a large school, but the close knit community of a small school! There isn't a single place I go on campus where I don't see someone I know!

I consider the faculty to be the best.

There's a lot of major's to choose from, classes to take, and activities to participate in. It's a good place for people who don't like to be bored.

The best thing about my school is the school spirit. Everyone including myslef who goes to that school is proud to say they go there or in my case graduated from there; and even everything that has happened there students and alumni are still proud to wear the colors (maroon and orange) and proud to say that they are Hokies.

There are some really great professors. There are some that have dynamic characters that are really passionate (and notable in) about their field and sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with their students. The campus is beautiful pretty much all year round!!!
