chiles, you hit on something in your last comment that I think is noteworthy to many students who look at VT as being too big or a place where they will be just another student/number. Many of Virginia Tech’s departments are small, just like Industrial Design, and you will get quite a bit of professor attention as you get into your major.

Aside from some of the larger CLE classes which can be well over 100 students, being in a group of 20 isn’t out of the norm. My s is a 'scaper and has been in small classes throughout his time there. As a mom I was initially worried about his desire to go to such a big school, but my fears were put to rest in his first semester. He loves the fact that he gets the big school environment, i. e. sports, meeting people from all over, and still gets the personal attention of a small LAC.

You will love it there and that department is terrific. Best of luck to you and the OP! :)
