" Virginia Tech (VT) has a quaint campus with a friendly social scene, tons of clubs (including Greek life) and jobs and such to choose from. You get a small-town feel while attending a big school which is quite nice. There are a variety of events including sports, we have quite a Football and Basketball presence although our other teams also perform well. There has never been enough parking, though, and some students can feel sequestered from more active locations (the nearest city, Roanoke, is a 45-minute drive away -- and who knows how long by bus).

" It is hard to gauge how the campus is like during this pandemic, but so far I have been able to have a good experience. I have been able to easily connect with my classes as well as clubs online. In addition, there are multiple student groups whom are very outgoing and welcoming to freshmen such as myself. "

" Virginia Tech is an amazing school with some minor flaws. I'm part of the engineering program and Virginia Tech is one of the best schools for it. The staff, especially in engineering, are great. The math department is a little shaky and you don't get to see who your professor is for some classes when selecting classes. The food is great and is consistently ranked among the top in the country. The drainage system around campus is pretty bad, so when it rains, there can be a lot of flooding. Blacksburg itself is nice. There isn't much besides the school, however, there are a lot of apartment complex's around it that are nice as well as great places to eat. "

" Facilities and food are top notch. The dorms are pretty standard but off campus options are cheap and the transport is very accessible. The campus is very very isolated and there isn't much going on in the town that's not university related. "

" Pretty great. Really depends on your area of study/major. It's just normal stuff. Some professors are hit or miss. I think a lot of times what happens is they are professors because they want to do research, and teaching is on the back burner. "
