"What is the fraternity scene like? Is it much of a presence at VT?"
It's there, and I suppose it's fairly strong. I think theres a good balance of fraternity and non-fraternity here. I didn't join one and I never had trouble finding something to do Friday or Saturday night, but if you want to join one you have several options. It's up to everyone whether or not they want to, and thats how it should be. I will say that several frat houses are pretty close to campus, but not so close that it ever caused a problem that I know of.
"Is having a refregerator in the room really necessary?"
I think so. It's great for milk or leftovers or fruit or whatever. There are kitchens in most dorms with fridges, but sometimes they're three stories away and nobody wants to make the long walk to get breakfast at 7:30 am. Plus theres no real guarentee your food will still be there. I highly suggest it.
"Are loft beds really that easy to put together?! I just read the brochure on those!"
Three people can get one put together no problem. It's just holding the things in place and tightening some wingnuts. Bring pliers.
