<p>Is Virginia Tech much better than polytechnic university (Brooklyn,NY)and after everything that happened there would you still go there</p>
<p>I live in brooklyn so Polytechnic University is closer but it is ranked a bit worse in electrical engineering or should i go to virginia tech even with all this negative comments about it now</p>
<p>Virginia Tech is still a good school. Their class size may drop for a couple of years, but if I was applying there and got in, I’d go if it was a top choice for me. My good friend returned to classes today, and called me in tears after his first class because of how supportive the faculty and administration was towards him and his friends, some of whom are in casts or have families preparing funerals. It’s a great community of students in every sense.</p>
<p>They still have the same facilities they had before the shooting, except for Norris Hall which is closed and their debating if they’ll open it in the fall. My friend can’t think of a single person he knew two weeks ago at VT that did not return to campus or plans to transfer. </p>
<p>I don’t know anything about this Polytechnic U in Brooklyn but if your heart was saying Va Tech two weeks ago, don’t let the shootings change that. You’ll still have a top notch education with a great student experience.</p>
<p>VT is a very good school. I wouldn’t worry about the safety; if anything, it will become one of the most secure schools in the country in the next few years (not like it wasn’t safe before the shooting).</p>
<p>I am leaning towards polytechnic university but i heard their electrical engineering program is very difficult and about only 28% graduate in 4 years.</p>
<p>Are there any other school that have electrical engineering other than Virginia tech and polytechnic university that a midrange student with a B could get into… I also got into NYIT school of engineering but i still feel polytech and Va Tech are better options.</p>
<p>You should consider that Virginia Tech’s class sizes are large, with about 21% of its classes larger than 50 students, but at the same time Virginia Tech is home to a great football team and a great town ruled by Hokies. I don’t know much about Polytech but it is ranked lower than VT in USN&WR. Plus VT does have great campus food and stone-like buildings that look beautiful. You might also want to figure out the cost for in-state and out-of state if your in one of these (If it’s this close I would look at the not so prominent things about the campuses)</p>
<p>I faced a similar decision a few days ago between Clemson, VT, and James Madison and now im headed to VT. GO Hokies!</p>
<p>P.S. I would think about the tragedy that has occured and wonder how it will affect your life. Do you fear conversations about the tragedy or are you sure about saying “lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice!”?</p>

" are you sure about saying “lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice!”?"</p>
<p>I was actually hit by lightning four times</p>
<p>Just Kidding</p>
<p>The prices are about the say for Polytech and Virginia at about 30K but i did get 12K from Polytech so I feel that should be a good choice</p>
