<p>An update to close out this thread…</p>
<p>My freshmen son is very happy at VT. His parents are very happy with his choice. The bottom line was the communication & information started rolling in after RD (not ED when he was accepted.). Orientation was excellent. Our expectation was that information would become available sooner as was the case with our older son who attends another school. The information available after RD was what we were looking for and exactly what the more experienced VT posters said it would be. Thank you. VT just has a different way of doing things than what we previously experienced. Our bottom line is my son is loving VT, and getting involved in lots of things. We’ve visited him last weekend, and went to a football game Saturday. We love visiting him on a Friday, as there are many things (hiking) to do when he isn’t available. Every day, I learn something new about VT and I like it more and more.</p>
