Lots of Parking but Its Still Not Enough

VT does its best to have enough parking spaces for students, but, alas, if you do not get there at the right time, it can be very difficult to find a space. Parking passes are expensive but you only have to get it once a year. The people who gives tickets, unfortunately, are brutal and so if you are breaking the rules or run out of parking meter time, THEY WILL TICKET YOU. There is not mercy from them. The fines are usually around $30. A car on campus is not necessary by any means, but does, of course, make life easier.

No Better Place to Be

There is a huge variety of very active student groups on campus. It is easy to meet people and easy to find a niche. There is a campus wide volunteering day that helps people all throughout the community doing a wide variety of things. Football games are a crucial part of the school year. There are picnics, parades, and GREAT concerts on various occasions. As cheesy as it might sound, the community is like a big family. Once a Hokie, always a Hokie. They have a great ROTC, as well. The intramural sports are a huge part of school life, too, for many people. There are many many sports that one can participate in. Campus is not far from many hiking trails and the river.
