Clemson University vs. Virginia Tech.......need to make a decision by May 1st!

<p>I am having a hard time deciding between these schools and I have to make a decision by May 1st so my parents suggested that I make posts to see what people know about the two schools and which one sounds more favorable. So, which one of these schools would you choose and why? Also, what do you know about these two schools?</p>

<p>THANK YOU!</p>

<p>What did you think your fit at the two school?</p>

<p>My biased (and ignorant- I never considered or visited VT) opinion is that both schools are great for engineering, but Clemson has nicer weather, is more friendly, and has many other great programs if you decide to change majors. With that said, it is the personal fit that matters most.</p>

<p>well concerns I have at both schools:</p>

<p>clemson - farther away from home, lack of diversity, not very well known where I live, engineering not as prestigious as VT</p>

<p>virginia tech - school shootings, not as warm as SC, larger school</p>

<p>I think I would fit well at both schools</p>

<p>I actually have some connections to VT. One thing that should not be a negative is the shootings. That can happen at any school in the country. At this point, I would say VT is probably one of the safest schools in the country to all the extra measures they have put in as a result of the incident.</p>
