Virginia Tech International Studies Major

Can anyone tell me anything about VT’s International Studies program? What it’s like, difficulty, prestige compared to other universities and schools within VT, opportunities, anything you can offer… I am a prospective student and I know that VT is often regarded as a major STEM school and not so much for the humanities and social sciences areas. Also, I know that the best international relations schools are typically in cities, so will studying it in a more rural area be a disadvantage? I have the grades to get into higher ranked programs in city areas but I’ve had my heart set on VT for a long time.
