<p>Also on your post about teachers:</p>
<p>It really depends on who you get for what class. Of course some teachers are better than others. I can assure you that much. My 1st semester at VT was sort of mixed with good and bad teachers.</p>
<p>If you can avoid it, do NOT get Zwiesler for Math 1205 - Calculus. If you can get Amateis for Chemistry 1035 - General Chemistry, by all means do it. Trivedi also isn’t a bad option for Chem 1035, but avoid Arachchige if you can. I had her for a professor and I hated my life.</p>
<p>A good website for you to look at when picking classes is:</p>
<p>K O O F E R S.com with no spaces. It will * out K O O F E R S if you type it together.
and
ratevtteachers.com</p>
<p>Just type in the professor name and a list of ratings with come up for them. That is the best way to register for classes. Then you avoid getting unhelpful teachers.</p>
<p>Now if Chuy replies to this, he will most definitely tell you to get Chang for Physics 2305. By all means do that. The guy has a 4.99/5 rating on both websites. You absolutely can’t beat him. </p>
<p>Now as for students, I wouldn’t really know. I didn’t live on campus my first semester, but I do this semester. I haven’t really made any friends since I’ve went to college at VT. I’m also not very outgoing either though. Most people I’ve seen have had no trouble adjusting, making friends, etc and love it at VT. Everyone is really friendly, but I guess my problem is that I just don’t communicate with them. As long as you try to get to know people, you will do fine with other students.</p>
