claudette,

I think your son saw a great example of how tight-knit the VT community is when he saw that game! The good news is that the school’s spirit and pride are also very evident away from the athletic fields. To us, the school feels much smaller than the size of its enrollment. My son had about the same academic stats as yours and fortunately has felt very challenged academically. He has loved his whole experience there and is a Hokie now through and through. Every time we visit I am impressed with just how friendly and kind the kids are that we have met.

Has your guy looked into the University of Georgia? Still a bit big (25,000+/-) but a solid school academically with great school spirit. Or Notre Dame? About 12,000 (ug and grad).
We liked Clemson, too, but VT won out in the end.
