My daughter is hoping to get accepted at VT. She should hear from them in about a month. I’ve been there twice. Beautiful campus. I’m surprised they don’t have a better rec center, though, for such a big school.
The New River, the mountains, the winding roads (for those of a motorcycle persuasion). There are caves for spelunkers, there's decent snow skiiing nearby. One can participate in just about ANY outdoor activity you can name, including the shooting sports, within 10-20 miles of the VT campuus.
It is, quite simply, the best and most beautiful place I can imagine to put a University - and it's a darned good SCHOOL, too. I wish your daughter well in getting in.
