<p>Hi :) Right now I'm trying to make a decision on the above, University of TN Knoxville and Virginia Tech. Can anyone give me info on what either/both of them are like, particularly the social side as right now I'm at a school where everyone goes home on weekends except the exchange students and I don't recommend it! I know both are pretty good schools (open to correction if I got that wrong!). I'm a History major, minoring in Political Science. Thanks!</p>
<p>I was accepted to and have already enrolled in UT. I think it's a great school that has a lot to offer.</p>
<p>Have you visited UT before? If not, the campus is great. It's got the mixture of flat and hilly down, trees everywhere, and an overall homey feel to it.</p>
<p>I've been there quite a few times and to me it seems that they have a little bit of everything when it comes to the social scene. So whatever your into, I'm sure you can find.</p>
<p>I'm sure some students go home on the weekends, but I know during football season many of them stay on weekends with home games and go to those. I don't know if your into that sort of thing. </p>
<p>I don't really know anything about VT, but all I can say is give UT a fair chance. It's a great school (in my opinion). </p>
<p>And just on another note, I'm majoring in Politcal Science and minoring in History. Thought that was kind of interesting. </p>
<p>If you have anything else you would like to know, feel free to ask, I'll try and help. =D</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I've been to the Knoxville campus before and didn't really like it when I was there, plus my ex fiance goes there and I'd rather not see him every day for the rest of college so that's why I bumped VT up the list. I haven't been to VTs campus but it looks amazing from their website and other friends I know who have been there have said its awesome. Because both are good schools and I don't have a specific reason for picking either it's making the choice really hard!</p>
