Looks good for VMI

Can you put up with the first year of being treated "poorly"?

im sure i can, but you never know. The one thing i dont like about VMI, they dont have a business major, they only have it as a minor

what about Virginia Tech. The corps of cadets seem very interesting. its like being in The Citadel, but having a large campus feeling. I want that military lifestyle, but the large campus with hot girls
