<p>Virginia Tech definitely provides a lot of opportunities for their engineers that really makes it an outstanding program. The alumni network, research opportunities, co-ops, internships, study abroad options, and more are all things to take into account. Also, because Tech is such a big school, there is a larger amount of different clubs and organizations to be a part of. It’s a closer, more friendly community there, which you can definitely see and feel during the April 16th memorial events, The Big Event, and Relay for Life (which is the largest in the country!). I’m a finance major at Tech, but my closest friends are engineering majors, so if you have any specific questions let me know!</p>
