[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Tech upperclassmen have to drive to class? That would ruin the vibe for me. [/quote]

They can drive or take the VT shuttle, which most do.  Most universities have something similar.  [/quote]

Not the ones with a cohesive campus.  [/quote]

Name a major college in Virginia where students don't take the bus (other than ODU because it's too dangerous to live more than a block off campus) [/quote]

No, it’s not. I live a few blocks from ODU in a very nice neighborhood. Lots of students live in the surrounding neighborhoods. The only time I’ve been a crime victim in my life was as a student in Charlottesville. Bad stuff can happen anywhere.

(That said, Norfolk is far from a nice college town.)[/quote]

Yeah well there's a reason the ODU shuttles don't really go off campus [/quote]

We've spent time in Norfolk and its surroundings. There is plenty to do in and around ODU. Yes, you may not want to go too far afield on foot, but the area down near the water is nice. And Virginia Beach is fun.

I would have been perfectly happy had my kid decided to go there. Much more exciting than her other in state option, Radford. Cute campus there, but the surrounding area is only somewhat OK because they can go hang out in Blacksburg with the kids at Tech.[/quote]

When I was at Tech, I went to some great parties at Radford.
