Worst of Virginia Tech

Take the Bus If You Can

Permits for students are expensive (but not really compared to other VA schools), about $100/semester. We have lots of construction going on and many parking spaces were taken away. The new parking garage helps, but not enough. Depending on where your classes are, you may have to walk pretty far from you car. Also, game days are the worst. Don't drive or park on campus if you can help it. Freshman have to park in "the cage". It's not too bad. Plus, freshman don't really need to drive much.

It Snows a Ton, and Its Very Cold

Classes never get canceled which is a good thing, but it sucks to have to walk to classes that are far away in the blistering cold. Also, it makes it more of a hassle to go to parties. In the fall when it is warm, everyone is outside running or playing sports or studying.

Not Being White

Virginia Tech is mostly a White campus. Although there are many different kinds of people within the campus, you don't see them too often and being someone who is a minority, this can sometimes be intimidating. More so if you come from an area where white people make up not even half of the percentage of the population.
