What impressed you positively?

Everything else but the van tour. The school is small but it's a new place and they are growing. I really enjoyed it and definitely see myself gong there.

What impressed you negatively?

The van tour of the city was not very helpful.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To not stress ahead of time...the staff did EVERYTHING they could do to make you feel comfortable, it was amazing. And don't stay in the Inn at Virginia Tech...I had a bad experience on many levels. The staff weren't entirely prepared to help and/or fix their problems until I decided to throw a cross-eyed fit...then they fixed the problems, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.
