"Students can use all the Virginia Tech facilities and attend games, join clubs, etc. I like how non-competitive the class is even though they are on letter grade system. The students were challenged but had fantastic feedback about professors being fair and pretty understanding. The admission staff took us on a tour of Blacksburg to know about the apartments there, see the VTech campus, etc. - very helpful and beautiful! I like that there is a block at the end of first year dedicated strictly to board prep. There are lots of bike trails connecting the town as well as a free bus service from VTech that helps to cut down on gas/hassle. I thought the cost of tuition compared to other schools and what is included is phenomenal! Also, the structure of classes has more frequent tests built in so students can stay up to date with the material AND redeem themselves after one bad test. Anatomy lab is all throughout first year not just crammed into 3 months." Report Response
"Dress code: at first I thought this was cool to keep the school professional and classy but, let's be honest, there are some days I'd like to roll outta bed in sweatpants after a long night of studying! Other than that, the school exceeded my expectations! I saved it for last to interview bc I wasn't sure it sounded like a good fit - WOW was I wrong!" Report Response
"I wish I had known how awesome this school is even though it is tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mts of Virginia: I would have cancelled more of my other interviews if I hadn't put this one off! The Virginia Tech mascot (the Hokie) is a ficticious bird." Report Response
"VCOM has so much to offer! I was blown away by their state-of-the-art facilities and technology as well as the perks of being 2 miles from a 30,000+ university. The area is beautiful and VCOM is tucked away from the undergrads but close enough for convenient food, shopping, rec, etc. This school has lots to offer in research too if thats something that interests you. the cost of living is low and the students here were so friendly! After my visit here, this school went from the bottom of my list straight to the top - can't wait for fall!" Report Response
