Undergraduate / College life, campus food, research institution, technical school, reputation; Why Virginia - Top 5 [3]

Top 5 Reasons I want to attend Virginia Tech in 250 words

Some can argue that college is about the freshman experience while others argue it's to study for a career. College is a life changing experience where one goes to study to become successful, to make lifelong friends, and to find a niche to be a part of. Virginia Tech is all and more of these aspects making it my number one choice of all colleges. One of the college aspects I am most excited for is the college life, and Virginia Tech doesn't cease to impress. With twenty-one athletic teams and over 700 clubs and organizations, there is no denying the fact that this school has the best college life. Surrounding the college is Blacksburg; a beautiful and safe town with many shops and restaurants to get away from all the studying, which I think is great. But the food in the town cannot top the great campus food, since Virginia Tech is ranked highest in the nation for campus food which is an impressive feature. Tech is also the best research institution in the state and copious amount of research opportunities provides excellent hands on experience. But the biggest make or break aspect of Virginia Tech is how it's a technical school. I am a die hard scientist and the fact it is a technical school with national ranked academics is outstanding. It would be more than an honor to be admitted to such a renown and reputable university.
