@bboop42.Thank you. I came across this information on the VA Tech University Studies FAQs too. My worries increased significantly, of course, when I read it. My son got admitted to George Mason University too (Computer Science Honors Program) and I wish I can convince him to try Mason for at least a year then apply for transfer to VA Tech for Engineering rather than float around at Tech doing General Studies. This sounds like a better option for him. Our house being like 5 or 6 miles away from George Mason, his mind is already closed for this option though.
