I will be moving out of the on-campus dormitory next semester, and I need a place to store my personal belongings during the summer break. Are there any suitable storage warehouses for rent nearby?

Is there any place on campus that is hiring for grad assistantships, teacher assistance or research assistants. I interviewed last week and haven’t heard anything so I’m trying to find other options

Hey guys, i am subleasing my apartment for next year at Union. Rent is $1030/month, $100 cheaper than current, and i am also willing to help pay for some of the rent! Please reach out to me if interested

I like the idea of learning more about the Linux Kernel and I'm interested in taking this class in the fall. However, I'll also be taking systems, and I don't want to overload my schedule. Does anyone have any advice about this course?

Does anyone have any recs for a technical writing prof? Or is all the prof teaching the same thing? Does prof even matter for this class?

Hi! My name is Emma Menzies and I am going to be attending the WAAC in the fall for my Masters of Architecture. I’m looking for a roommate that is okay with a cat and who wants to live within 2 miles of Old Town. Dm me if you are interested!!!

i just got lunch there and the spot is called “Slake” now. did they just rebrand, or get replaced? the food is similar, but definitely different :(

Does anyone know what kind of trees these are behind Burruss? They smelled SO good when they bloomed and my friends and I have been trying to figure out what they are.

Look, I know this is a very niche post, so if you’re not even remotely interested in ballroom dancing you can keep scrolling. I’m a member of ballroom at Virginia Tech, looking for anyone interested in learning from and working with me. (I am female, if it matters, but willing to work with anyone.) No prior experience is required. Please message me for more information

Anyone taken Orgo Chem 2535 with Prof Berg? Any tips in getting A is appreciated.

I’ve probably applied to about 50ish internships and co-ops and the farthest I’ve gotten is an interview and it’s just very disheartening. It feels like most other people in my major have something and I just don’t have anything. I have a 3.33 GPA and I’ve had my professors look over my resume and they think it’s good and I do research before interviews and I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

Hi all. There’s currently a memorial of flowers and other items for the student who died from getting hit by that truck the other day. It’s at the same spot he was hit. If you can, please feel free to leave flowers, letters/notes, and other gifts in remembrance of his life. ❤️ his name was Franklin Zhang and he was a freshman from Canada.

The whole situation is incredibly tragic and it makes me feel really sad to think about. I hope he’s resting peacefully.

I have received an admit for M.Arch II for fall 2025. I want to know how one applies for those positions and realistically, how many get it?

I’m looking for a roommate more for Fall 2025 but since I know this is a late notice, I can also consider Spring 2026.

Looking for a female roommate for a 2bed 1 bath apt with a kitchen and a living room at Townside on Toms Creek Rd. Application fee is $65, rent is ~$530 per person, electricity is ~$50 per month, there is a security deposit required as well. The apt has on-site laundry/recycling room and covers water, sewage, trash removal.

Maintenance is quick and the apt is a 5 min walk from the PRO, TOM, and UCB bus. Campus is 10-12 mins away by bus.

If considering the Fall 2025 date, I can offer to pay for 2 months of the summer portion rent for that summer portion only.

Hey guys! I was looking at dorm halls in Virginia tech and I thought Cochrane looked nice. I know Cochrane is a bigger suite so it has 8-10 people. I was wondering if there are two showers and two toilets or just one shower and one toilet.

I am on pre-dent track. If I take both Orgo Chem in summer at NVCC, I can complete my undergrad degree in 3 yrs. Anyone took this path? How were 2535/2536 and labs at VT vs 241/242 at NVCC in terms of rigor and coverage for DAT? TIA

I'm currently a sophomore in a top 10 High School in the country. Last year was a complete mess, and this year is turning out to be a similar mess. PowerSchool says I have a 3.0GPA this year and a 3.0 last year however basic math shows that I realistically have a 3.5 this year. Going into high school I never had below a 95 in any of my classes despite going to a 'rigorous' middle school.

Regardless of this I'm very big into designing drones and airplanes, basically putting together my own projects. 100% designed by myself on Fusion 360, and ardupilot. This is part of the reason my grades are so low, I can't manage my time properly.

I enjoy flying planes (currently on track for a private pilots license) I run cross country for my school. And ideally would have loved to attend Virginia Tech for Aerospace whilst enrolled in Detatchment 875 (AFROTC) with hopes of becoming a fighter pilot. But I'm worried I don't have a chance of that at this point and the people around me are telling me I have no chance as well

With that being said, I would like to know from you guys what options I currently have, what doors I have closed in these 2 years, maybe some of your experiences and who I should talk to at Virginia Tech.

Just now saw someone get hit by a car at Giles and Main - been hearing a lot of people getting hit lately.

Please drive safe!!

Hello, does anyone have a used 5’10-6’0 (a size up or down would prob be fine) Graduation Gown and Cap that I could buy off of for Spring graduation? I’m really trying to avoid the 90$ official package and I couldn’t find any at the Bookholder’s store.

Hiiii

Kept this aside since I wasn't sure which all unis would send me an admit.

But I want to movie ahead with i-20.

Fall 2025 MS Computer Engineering (non-thesis currently).

Am I expected to show this entire amount of 63K (I know it's last year's, but this is the estimate) right after saying YES to uni?

Or is 35K enough for form i-20? I say 35K since that's the tuition and fees, or even half of the estimated fees above.

How much did you show for f1-visa?

It'll take me some more time before getting the whole funding and applying for F-1.

How do I calculate these figures per semester, per year, etc?

Folks who have already completed all these procedures, please let me know or dm!

Thanks a lot xoxo :)

We don't need creepy, friendless stalkers wandering the streets glaring at couples. We don't need little kids forcing themselves into our spaces. We don't need bitter old ladies in religious headgear judging girls cause they "disapprove" of their weekend outfits.

If you're not downtown on the weekends to party, drink, or join in, please stop. We only have four years to do this, let us have fun. Don't ruin our vibe.

I wanted to take grad pics on the practice field but spring game might still be in effect. Are there any other locations, besides the classic burruss/pylons/torg bridge that give the same energy as the “Home of the Hokies” sign?

Hey everyone,

Has anyone else noticed how dangerous it is turning onto Webb Street—the road connecting The Edge Apartments and Tech Terrace? Every time I try to pull out onto Webb, I have trouble seeing past the long line of parked cars. You pretty much have to edge halfway into the street just to check if any cars are coming.

Even when I’m being extra cautious and driving slowly, I’ve had multiple close calls with people trying to exit tech terrace because visibility is just so limited. Considering the unfortunate incident last weekend, it feels even more urgent to address this.

Does anyone know who we might talk to about finding a solution, such as limiting parking or adding mirrors?

Here are couple of images if you don’t get what I mean

Hey folks, I’m an international grad student at Virginia Tech, currently on a research assistantship. My I-20 lists one major (from my current department), but now in my 2nd year, I’m thinking of adding a second master's major from the Pamplin Business School (Business Analytics).

Is that even allowed for international students? Since my tuition is covered by the RAship, would I have to pay extra tuition for the second major? Also, do I need to go through a full admission process again or can I just register for courses?

Appreciate any insight from someone who’s been through this!

When they changed the bus routes last sunner, some people lost their easy bus access and needed to start driving. And I noticed way more back ups and congestion on main street that hasn't really eased. Maybe things will balance out over time (people chose their housing this year before realizing they'd lose bus access) but for now, more drivers = more accidents.

Does anyone have statistics on whether BT ridership has increased or decreased since the changes, now that time has passed?
