DS trying to decide between PSU (we live in PA) and VT. My husband and I both prefer VT and he did get a small amount of merit. DS feels the pull to go where all his friends are going (PSU and he got no merit there). I noticed that VT is well known for its Quality of Life, Happiest Students, and best Campus Food. Any other accolades that any of you can mention? He got into Pamplin.
