If you get aBrightBiology
If you get a professor here that speaks English, you are lucky. Budget cuts here have made it impossible to get the classes you need to graduate. There are so many better schools to choose from. Skip this dump.

Question
VT has a uniqueQuite BrightBiology
VT has a unique population of students. VISIT! If you aren't a mountain-man or a holy roller, you are going to hate this place. I had heard all the hype (sports & all) and got here and have regretted the decision ever since. BIG MISTAKE.

Question
This is a great school.Not so brightBiology
This is a great school. It has a great science department. Everything about this college is amazing.
I strongly recommend coming to this school.Don't pay attention to any of the posts about this school being dangerous those people more than likley don't go to this school. Be happy you're not at Norfolk State or Old Dominion, both are surrounded by a ghetto. Violence happens all the time at those schools. I know a guy who went and was put in a coma. This happened on campus during the day.
