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)

A college of class, sportmanship, and unity. A college that has always been united, not just from the horrible shootings that took place. It is a college that can easily compete with UVA in any subject or activity handed to it. Tech has a good football team, that we can brag about. People are aloud to be cocky, but according to UVA its all we do. But when UVA preps want to get cocky about how much money their mommy and daddy have, its okay. Cause UVA is so much better than tech. The day that statement is true is the day hell freezes over.
Virginia Tech is the best school in Virginia!

Overhyped football team that thinks they are god's gift to college football, but when they play quality football teams they lose. A school's whose football team is overhyped, but ultimately, sucks and underachieves.
"Man Virginia Tech is shitty, why can't they win a game that matters? It sucks to be a tech fan, cause the hokies always disappoints!

A lame excuse for a university which lacks class and loves to talk trash when the majority of their bandwagoners can't name 3 players on their own so called favorite team. They think they're amazing at just about everything.They beleive schools such as UVA only care about education and being above everyone. They obviously have not been there.They take pride in winning a mediocre conference. (yes i realize thats a rip on UVA as well! acc football is weak) Colin Cowherd has been there favorite media member, hes known for his idiotic rants and racist remarks.Virginia Tech has only one 6 bowl games in their history. Only one of which were a BCS victory (1993). Many hokie fans love characters such as DeAngelo Hall, Michael Vick, Marcus Vick etc. All of which have had on and off the field issues. Dog fighting, have sex with young girls, spitting on opposing players, Marcus and Michael both flicked off fans on different occasions. And Michael did it to his own fans! There is something wrong with looking up to people like them. This is a university who's fans truly lack class,sportsmanship, and are just plain D bags. So before they try to bomb on your favorite team or try to compare records, just remember, when they hit 3-9 one year, theyll all the sudden be Florida State for life, or some other team. I have no respect for such idiotic drunks and I never will.

Virginia Tech is in essence the true college experience. Compared to any other top school in VA, VT has it all and does it damn well. From parties to academics to sports and research. We are a proud school and are proud of our heritage. With the best football team in the state and a damn good basketball team as well...well its a no brainer why UVA can never beat us. UVA is like a tick on the ball sack of VT. They need to stop trying to live up to us and do their own shit. And as far as academics go, VT is very competitive to get into, just as much as UVA and more so than JMU (only reason JMU gets so many applicants is because they want to party 24/7). With that being said, VT is a highly notable school with many majors making the top lists in this country. I am proud to be a Hokie and will represent Tech to the day I die. Go Hokies!
VT student: "I heard Virginia Tech has excellent research opportunities and the education there is on par with UVA. I think I might go to Tech this fall. And besides, JMU is a joke because all they do is party. Way to promote themselves with springfest lol."
UVA student: "God I hate VT, I would never fit in because I think so high of myself and I would miss mommy and daddy so much (sucks thumb). I heard VT is getting a med school soon. Were really screwed now"
