[quote=Anonymous]Just graduated from VT, landed a position with a Fortune 100 company in L.A. with a Business double major. All due to our alumni network within the Business school, and (shocker) hard work within our business programs. Being from Charlottesville originally, I will say that many "UVA families" don't even give us a chance to show what strong programs we have- there is just complete judgement and the assumption that we are "only good at engineering".

There are many opportunities with both schools, and both schools are great public universities. I'm just severely confused as to how all of these parents within this forum can "claim" that UVA is supreme outside of engineering when they don't even know what we offer.

**Sidenote: many UVA professors teach at Piedmont Virginia Community College just down the street. So are we really getting nit picky with academic rankings here?

Like many have said on this forum, the atmosphere is just different. Virginia Tech is not the land of "vineyard vines", nor is it Greek central. We are normally middle class students that want a school with a good reputation, good programs, and a fun "spirited" vibe.[/quote]
