(I will acknowledge that most do move off campus after first year which is not atypical of many larger public universities.) [/quote]

Even back in the day it was fashionable to move off campus after freshman or sophomore year.  I stayed all 4 years in the dorms because it was more affordable.  Most of the kids who lived off campus had cars at school.  I didn't.[/quote]

We all moved off campus after freshmen year.  The apartment complexes are full of students, so it's still very dorm like, just with way fewer rules :).

God I love Blacksburg.  I'd love to be going back even if it meant sharing my tiny dorm room with TWO weirdos instead of just 1.  It was such a fantastic time in my life.  [/quote]

It really was a ton of fun.  I feel sort of bummed for the kids who won't be able to experience their entire first year at Tech, though.  It sounds as though the Engineering program has gotten insanely competitive.  Lots of super smart kids competing for a finite number of spots. I'm sure they will all be successful no matter what they wind up doing.[/quote]
