<p>There are a decent amount of out of state students, especially Maryland and NJ. Since VA itself is such a big state, there’s a lot of variety in the type of student depending on what group of people you’re around. A lot of students you’ll meet will be from Northern VA and the Virginia Beach/Norfolk/Hampton Roads area, both of which are really big areas in VA. Most students are all adapting to the college town feel, so that’ll just be a personal preference. NoVA and 757 aren’t really southern/rural either, so most students will also be getting used to the southwest VA environment. One of my really good friends I met at Tech was from NJ, but it rarely ever came up except when talking about traveling home and stuff like that. Let me know if you have any other specific questions!</p>
