My D just made her decision to commit to VT - yeah! 
She spent quite a few hours narrowing to her final 2 choices - VT and Purdue and did a lot of online research, virtual tours and just checking out student videos on YouTube - which gave a good sense for the student body and cultures at each college.
So now she has applied to Hypatia LLC for Women in Engineering in Lee Hall and super excited to be a Hokie!
