Meaning: your kid will have cadets in their classes. These students come in wearing their uniforms. Neat, clean, and crisp, and they come to class respectful and prepared. It raises the game for everyone else.

This sounds downright militaristic, in a frightening way.

Military factored heavily into our assessment of VT. The day we toured, there was some event for the military students and they were all dressed in army fatigues.

The big open-space quad on campus is also call "Drillfield" after the cadets who supposedly practice out there. VT is pretty heavy military.

Some people don't realize this until they visit and see with their own eyes. Big presence, 1,200 cadets.
Drill field, firing cannons, this place sometimes feels like West Point. Some kids don't mind this, some do.

Sounds exciting to watch. We love the firing of the cannon at football games.

I graduated from Va Tech and rarely encountered the Corp of Cadets. Just a fun element at football games.

These are two of the dumbest posts I’ve ever read. I actually laughed.
