<p>Take note of how they have laid out the campus to make a very large school seem much smaller. The campus has a terrific feel to it. Also, for fun while touring - keep your eyes out for gargoyles on the older buildings. For example the agriculture building has cow gargoyles. Getting there and back has become much easier as there a couple of bus options now incuding Homeride Va which drops off at the Vienna metro station, but is a bit pricey and Megabus which is very cheap (some one-way fares for $1) and drops off in downtown DC but picks up in Christiansburg requiring local bus transportation on the VT side. On the potential downside, be aware that housing is only guaranteed freshman year and most sophomores and above live off-campus or in the Oak Lane greek community.</p>
