I’m not sure that I’d want my kid to go to VT next year, especially if they weren’t planning on staying all 4 years. With the 15% overenrollment, classes and dorm rooms, etc will be far more squeezed than usual. They’re actually paying VA residents to defer for a year. What might be a manageable size and community would likely be less so next year. Students at VT are generally pretty happy and there’s a high retention rate, but next year will be challenging for all involved.

Deferring enrollment sounds like a very good idea. Hopefully during that time you can visit more and warm to it. @momofsenior1 is right that there will be plenty of other things to do than cheer football.
