[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.

Thank you! This was exactly
what  it was like. Add in Army Corp marching around. Admission Rep only talked about football.

----------
My son graduated from Virginia Tech engineering.  When we first went to the admissions session for the overall university, the old guy speaking talked about football and not liking math which turned me off as the Dad of a student that liked math but had no interest in football.  My advice is ... don't let initial impressions or the people in the Admissions Office turn you off on Virginia Tech.  My son had a great experience at Virginia Tech, found his people, went to only 1 football game.  There is something for everyone there.  The engineering school is impressive.  The campus is beautiful.  My son liked the small town, the nature, the mountains and the relatively low cost of living.  He now has a great job.[/quote]
