Virginia Tech is listed as the #8 safest campus in the nation. I agree teaching our students common sense practices is best but I would not be concerned about Virginia Tech not being a safe school. My son and many of his friends (both male and female) have never felt unsafe and as a parent the school does a great job of communicating when the need arises.
