[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason they are shown the door out of engineering is because VT can't accommodate more students in the upper level classes - it's a numbers thing[/quote]

You are an idiot. Virginia Tech just finished construction on a BRAND NEW signature engineering building. If anything, they are EXPANDING the numbers they can accommodate, especially in engineering and agriculture (also has new buildings opening soon) because as another PP mentioned, [b]VT is the only land-grant university in Virginia[/b] and is known for these specialties. [/quote]

PP here. Oops, didn't know VSU is a land grant as well. But the basic point is the same.[b] VT is expanding in its strongest areas, engr & ag. [/b]Also in research in many unique areas. [/quote]

Tech may be expanding it's engineering programs, but at least at my son's FCPS high school, it remains harder for kids to get into Tech for engineering than Penn State.  In fact, in recent years Penn State has become an engineering back-up school for kids who can't get into Tech.  [/quote]

Is it because PS wants the OOS tuition $ and diversity, if you call it that? [/quote]
