My school. A pretty awesome place considering you're in the middle nowhere since the people bring the big town life here with them. Known for its academics and sports among many other things.
As a high school senior, I had to choose among a near infinite amount of East coast universities to attend, eventually realizing the greatness that was just an hour down the interstate. They're also pretty selective. I was one of 5,600 freshmen accepted from a pool of over 20,000 applicants in 2008.
Some facts:
-We do have a formidable football team, although many (and myself)
could care less if it gets too
gung ho.
-(In response to a blatant misconception I heard) We don't fuck the cows here. That's just gross.
-The students here are really chill and easy to hang with. There's something here for everyone.
-Great Engineer and Architecture programs. Even beats, dare I say it,
UVA...
-The largest full time student population in Virginia.
-The party scene here is
commendable. Plenty of frat and apartment venues to get you pissed on a weekly basis if you desire.
-Guy/Girl ratio is approaching a cool
50/50, up from being slightly more sausage a few years ago. (so no need to
fret)
Example:
-Totally awesome guy: I'm so stoked that I'm going to Virginia Tech this fall! Engineering or Architecture, I don't care, I just want to go!
-Totally awesome guy's totally awesome friend:
Good for you! I got accepted into
UVa to study business this fall, their program was a big plus to me.
-1st Guy: *friendly jest* Oh yeah? I guess we'll see
your team's ass on the
gridiron come November you zima-sippin first-year prick.
-Friend: *similar jest* Very funny you cow screwin' hick, why don't you whistle to your quarterback boyfriend through your missing front tooth while you slap the back of your
sunburnt neck and spit your
chaw!
-1st Guy: .... ummmm, yeahhhh...
-Friend: I went to far didn't I?...
