What are your general comments?

"It was awesome, we got to see the town of Blacksburg, and the students at the school would peak in and say hello and offer advice and just chat with us which was neat. A lot of people are worried because they have not graduated a class yet but they are so state of the art and have the best faculty I really doubt they will have problems with their accrediation. Make sure you have lots of questions because they will ask you if you do...millions of times. " Report Response
