How is it for the LGBTQ community at V Tech? Are there outlets for the minorities?

It's a pretty close-knit group from what I recall. I only attended one event for LGBTQ, and they looked like such a fun and close crowd--although perhaps a little closed off from someone out of it like me.

How hard is it to transfer into the Mechanical Engineering department at V tech? I'm a third year student now in a pre-engineering program and would be transferring in next fall.

It is a pretty competitive program so you would want to have a pretty high GPA to transfer in. Also, being involved in engineering related extracurriculars is probably helpful!

In order to transfer from general engineering to mechanical engineering, you need to take all the classes needed in order to declare a specific engineering degree (these classes take up two semesters) and your GPA needs to be at least a 2.5.
