Since the first day of classes at VT, I realized that I was home.  There's such a proud, welcoming and friendly atmosphere.  The engineering department is great and is one of the best majors available at VT.  I love it there.   — Food:  The on-campus dining is… read full review »

It's a great place to study with great teachers and study environment, despite its previous incident. — I believe that they need more student counsellor. It is clear that previous incident was a result of neglected student mental health. The student counsellor clearly did not/ or maybe the school even does not have any counsellor. — I believe the government must take care of this issue seriously and carefully. — It is important to maintain the mental health of students, just like in the office, we have counsellor, the school also… read full review »
