[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not consider Virginia Tech. As a parent, I had the rudest responses from them. I asked if it was possible -to just- plan for 5 years to complete the program. Plan from the beginning, plan to take a lighter load. Instead of explaining why not or just saying a simple no, they were insulting, berated what they thought were my DD's qualifications - based on nothing. They did not know, die not know her stellar qualifications.[/quote]

That’s worrisome to hear this about Virginia tech. Anyone else have experience with Virginia tech?[/quote]

My senior engineering Hokie is living her best life in Blacksburg. Has had good classes and profs, lots of friends, involved on campus, paid internships every summer, 2 years of research with a faculty member, and multiple job offers for post grad (one of which she's taken). She went to Nationals the last 2 years with her design team, and that bunch does a lot together socially, as does the small group of kids in a sport she's involved with. Serves as an ambassador for her major, as well. It's one of the smaller engineering majors so she knows a lot of her classmates. Has had no trouble getting the classes she's wanted, even in her first year. She loves the outdoorsy stuff, the off the charts school spirit, goes to football and basketball games. Her advising has been good, and it was 100% the right choice for her. She turned down some great schools including Purdue and a T10 and has zero regrets. [/quote]
