Thank you sooooo much for reporting back to us! VT is at the top of my S21’s list right now.
Best of luck to your daughter! I’m sure she’ll do great.
Reading forums on VT, My son is a senior 2021 grad and VT first choice and committing. We are also near Philly and picked the 6 hour ride over some plane flight or further colleges. How is your daughter liking VT? Went to visit in one day and back, so about 2 hours on campus during covid so not much hustle bustle, didn’t see the town. He still liked it best!
Hi - Our daughter is really enjoying VT Engineering - despite the COVID restrictions and impact on campus life. She loves the campus and chose it due to the closeness to some great hiking trails, mountains etc… The location being able to drive to from NJ and the outdoor activities is what tipped the balance for her over Purdue in her final choice. The town is a nice college town with some good student hangouts and choice of restaurants. But it is the campus that our daughter likes - she has found everyone really friendly and has got on well with her courses - but Engineering is certainly a tough choice so be aware if that is what your son is looking to do (it is tough at Purdue as well though). The food is also very good - lot of choices and good quality (VT is ranked very highly for its campus life and food). Hope this helps and best of luck!
