At Tech the professors have experience in the fields in which they teach so not only do the provide book lessons, but also life lessons. As a double major in Communication and Theater Arts and a Spanish minor i get a very diverse exposure to different classes. Within both my majors the departments ask for students to take classes within the major that is outside of our concentration, which provides students with a chance to get a glimpse of different aspects of the major, and even if there is no interest in the other aspects, students can develop an appreciation...

    Ut prosim-- that I may serve, Virginia Tech's motto, is seen throughout all of the students and faculty at Virginia Tech everyday, and is very important in our community. The staff strive to make their students experience at Virginia Tech memorable and they all want their students to succeed. The students are welcoming and our community is strong and supportive.

    This school presents a cozy atmosphere, despite a big campus. There is a lot of emphasis on football and school spirit. Student Services is very helpful with registration and financial aid issues.

    The most amazingly beautiful school in the United States. Everything about Virginia Tech is wonderful. The Hokie Spirit is so evident, and brings a great feeling on the campus, as well as in Blacksburg.

    If you are ready for a spirit filled student body, devoted academic teachers and advisors and the most delicious food you have ever eaten, then Virginia Tech is the school for you! If I am one of the thousands screaming fans at a Hokie football game or one of the many students walking across the beautiful drill field in between classes I have never felt like just a number. Virginia Tech makes each student feel valued, loved and most importantly instills desire to succeed in each and everyone of their students.

    It is a very difficult and outstanding institution that has an aspect most don't have, a fully functioning Corps of Cadets with all 4 branches of ROTC and Civilian Leader Track. Virginia Tech works hard to instill the concept of selfless service in the university motto Ut Prosim, That I may serve. It is also outstanding at producing capable and confident young adults with leadership skills to be sent the business world and the military world alike.
