[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VT is a serious top pick for my junior.  Two questions:

1) For a boy that HATES football and basketball, is this an issue?  He is really social and likes sports, just hates these two sports, so he's really looking for a school where the social culture doesn't revolve around football or basketball games.

2) I hadn't realized the part about no on-campus housing after freshman year.  That's concerning.  For kids coming from OOS, who likely won't know anyone in their freshman class, how do they find people?  This seems stressful for a freshman, but maybe I'm just projecting that it would be stressful for me.[/quote]

Football game days are big, but there a lots of students who don't participate in the sports stuff. Not a problem.

As for housing, my older Hokie stayed on campus 2 years and my younger will as well. Some living learning communities require a 2 year contract, so choosing one of those will guarantee 2 years on campus with the option to stay on longer. Other LLCs offer the opportunity to stay on as mentors after freshman year. My daughter has 2 friends who've stayed on campus all 4 years this way. My younger one planned on doing this, but the LLC he was in this year isn't continuing next year. So he applied for a different one and will be there next year. There's also a housing lottery and some students apply to be SLs (like RAs) who live on.[/quote]
