educ-Colleges and Universities-All-Virginia Tech: Va Tech, a great overall school

Fri, 15 Dec 2000 15:56:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BigBarryB - First off, Virginia Tech is a great value and a great school. When I hear what some of my friends owe to their private schools it makes me want to laugh. Va Tech is not too hard to get into and admissions wise it is just a notch below Uva. However,...

educ-Colleges and Universities-All-Virginia Tech: The Ugly (and not so ugly) Honest to God Truth

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 00:04:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author For_Real_Yo - Virginia Tech is certainly not the school for everyone.

There are many people who love it here, but I am certainly not one of them. Coming from a Washington, D.C. suburb, it does take some entertainment to impress me. Tech does not offer...

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 17:44:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jennymdean - As a somewhat recent graduate of Virginia Tech I have say it was by far the best four years of my life. Virginia Tech is a large school with over 30,000 students. So if you aren't looking for a big school, Tech's not for you. Freshman year consists of...

educ-Colleges and Universities-All-Virginia Tech: Greek Life

Thu, 26 Oct 2000 12:07:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MerMcE - There's always a debate about whether Greek organizations (fraternities and sororities) help or hinder a student's college experience. Certainly many factors will play in to that (which college, which organization, the person themselves), but I can...

educ-Colleges and Universities-All-Virginia Tech: An Oasis

Tue, 24 Oct 2000 17:31:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MerMcE - The best of both worlds. A large campus with lots of people, but located in a small town tucked away in the mountains. I lived on campus for 3 years and thoroughly enjoyed campus life. There is constant activity going on in each of the quads (sports,...

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 10:59:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Cherrycola60 - The campus is fairly small for a university. I have visited many campuses and so far this one has been my favorite. The drill field is beautiful and is filled with extra curricular activities all day every day. The entire campus is filled with...

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 23:59:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author infielderx - Back in 1988 I don't believe I was truly ready to enter any university, much less a school 200 miles away from my hometown in Winchester, Virginia. But the issue was forced on me by my PH.D. father. The only solace I had at the time was that I got...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author DennisM76 - I graduated from Tech in 1976 with a BS in Accounting. I was surprised at the respect I have received as a graduate from Tech. You always hear about the other school in Charlottesville but not about Tech. Tech has always been a school with a strong...

educ-Colleges and Universities-All-Virginia Tech: THE U. of VA., TECHnically speaking

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 16:45:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ramico - Let's begin with the answer to the very common question: "What is a hokie?" A hokie is a nonsense word taken from a cheer by O.M. Stull from the early part of the 1900s. It is NOT a castrated turkey, which is a story whose origins are UVA!...

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 12:42:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author schnappsers - Virginia Tech has a reputation of being an engineering and agriculture school. I received two degrees from the school, neither of which fall into either of those fields. As many students do, I chose VT for it's reputation in a particular field, but...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author shjohns2 - The biggest school in Virginia a best kept secret? Well, of course, many people have *heard* of VT, but they have never *experienced* it. This is due mainly to its location in rural southwest Virginia. To give you some feel for it: during the fall and...
