Report Response

"Nothing I can really think of." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall the school is very well organized, very advanced in technology, great access to high-tech research facilities with their association with VA Tech, and their systems based approach to the curriculum is very appealing. You could not ask for kinder, friendlier staff, admin, and students. Very much a family-like feeling there. And Blacksburg/Christiansburg area is just beautiful, so, overall, this is definitely a school on the top of my list." Report Response
