| Phoenix,
Sounds like you are beginning to firm up your decision about schools. As 4trees pointed out you will have to plan most of your trips home, but from what we have been told, most kids don't leave campus for the weekends. We are around 3 hours from VT. I'll share one example with you that kind of tells you a bit about how much the kids love it there. Our next door neighbor's son goes to Tech. A real homebody and very close to his family. Freshman year he left in August and we didn't see him until fall break in late October. The Sat. morning of fall break (he had been home less than 24 hours), he tells me in the yard that he is itching to get back to Blacksburg!
I think that you will love it if you go. Who knows, maybe you will become friends with my s and we can have you visit us one weekend! Good luck and don't worry; whether you are 1 hour or 10 hours from home, you are still away and I am sure all of you graduating seniors are a bit nervous. Take care! |
