Virginia Tech has something for everyone. It's big but feels small - like I always see friends when changing classes. Blacksburg is super homey and the nature surrounding it is AMAZING. Hiking spots, waterfalls, river swimming, bonfires, camping, is all within reach. I feel very safe on campus. It's 10/10 vibes, I don't even have to romanticize it

Blacksburg is honestly the perfect balance between peaceful and energetic. From my experience, the Engineering Expo is a strong way to network with the some of the best companies and to land different internships. Choosing VT was definitely one of my best decisions.
Go Hokies!
