The best thing about Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University [Virginia Tech] is by far, the sense of community and strong school spirit. As soon as you step on campus, the energy that you feel is amazing and it is obvious that each student genuinely wants to be there and loves the school. The student body is welcoming and accepting of new and prospective students. Even after graduating, returning to campus feels like coming home to family.

The amount of people because it helps you with school and social life.

Technology.

The school spirit and the friendly hello's that everyone gives.

The friendliness of the people here. Its so easy to make friends when you come here, there really arent any cliches and many groups such as sororities and fraternities include non-members in a lot of their social events.

The best thing about my school is its community and spirit. People always said that we looked and acted like a cult. I don't disagree. We have this sense of "home" at our school. Strangers were just people who you didn't get to know yet. This is most evident during our football games and through our football pride. However, I really sensed this during the 4/16 shooting. There was no hatred amongst different races, nor was there outcast of people. Everyone came together to show respect and sorrow. We were there for each other. We were home.

I love the campus. It's absolutely gorgeous. The only thing better than walking to my amazing classes is taking my time along the way. I toured every school in Virginia, from William and Mary to UVA, and Tech has by far the prettiest campus.
