I love Virginia Tech with a passion. There are so many great things about the school, and I would like to highlight my favorites! Here are a few things Virginia Tech that I could never live without...
1. The Math Emporium.
The shining star of Virginia Tech! Here in Blacksburg, the Empo is a beautiful place filled with hopes and dreams. They even give you a water cup at your station!
2. Blacksburg Transit.
I love when my bus is full and I end up being late to class. I also love standing very close to all of my fellow hungover Hokies. It's kind of like when you sneak into North End Zone with your best friends, except the bus is a lot more fun than a football game!
3. Two Factor Login.
Besides the Empo, this is Virginia Tech's greatest idea yet. Thank goodness no one is allowed to open my account and submit any assignments for me! It's almost like everyone has their own personal security guard.
4. The Layout of West End.
West End has great food and an even greater layout. It's not confusing at all and the lines are never in the way when you're trying to walk through. There are also plenty of places to return your dishes throughout the building, because it would be crazy if there was only one dish return and it was in the back!!
5. Commuter Parking.
I love paying $274 for a parking pass. It can be hard to find a parking spot but just make sure you get to campus about three hours before your class and you'll have no problem finding a spot!
6. Goodwin Hall.
Goodwin is in prime location on campus. It's close to the dorms, and if you want to workout after class, McComas is not too far away either! If you have a class there and it's back-to-back with another class, have no fear! You can take your time and leisurely walk from building to building.
7. Parking Services.
The folks who run parking services are not ever that strict about where you park. They totally understand if you're running late or going to a test; and they are often very generous about letting people off without a ticket!!
Virginia Tech has a few things that everyone agrees could be better, but as a whole, there is no other place I could call home.
