Admissions at Virginia Tech

This Is The Future

Virginia Tech has come alive!

By Zachery Kennedy

President, Hokie Ambassadors

Classes are back in session and campus is bustling with activity. Freshmen are quickly adjusting to college life and upperclassmen are glad to be back on campus to reunite with their friends. Downtown restaurants and retail shops are busy with customers. Virginia Tech has yet again come alive!

The big buzz on campus is football and whether the Hokies will take home a win this coming Saturday against Alabama in Atlanta. I’m excited for this season, more pumped than I have been in years past. This may just be the year we go all the way!

There are many aspects that make Virginia Tech the best university in the country:

• the food here is amazing,
• classes are demanding,
• professors are experts in their fields,
• the campus is beautiful, and
• the energy amongst the student body is unrivaled.

If you are looking for a fun and challenging four years, I think Virginia Tech will fit your bill.

I have not once regretted my decision to come here. Virginia Tech is one big Hokie community, a community that you will always remain a part of. Burnt Orange and Chicago Maroon will soon become your favorite colors (trust me!)
