[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem is the set up: pull into the vast suburban mall type parking lot and then follow a sidewalk for a barren 20 minutes to get to a standalone rather boring admin building. My kids kept on their list because everyone they know who goes there loves it. But my kids found other better fit colleges. [/quote]

Serious question:  what on earth are you talking about?  Are you just making things up?  I've been to VT many times and never experienced the "set up" you describe.[/quote]

NP here. I know what they’re describing and I agree. The center where they give tours is far from everything and surrounded by a massive parking lot. It takes quite awhile to walk to campus. So first impressions aren’t great for some, that’s all. [/quote]

That must have been the overflow parking lot. We parked in the Perry Street parking garage and it was a couple minutes walk from there to the Burruss Hall building where the open house started; along the way we encountered several groups of students welcoming us and pointing us in the right direction -- they were all enthusiastic and energetic, even on a chilly early March morning!

The PP is describing the parking around the admissions building which is near the Inn at Virginia Tech and it's generally used only for busy tour days, overflow, etc.  They don't actually start the tours there.  Burruss Hall is in the middle of campus and where all the tours actually meet up. [/quote]
