🚨 Not Ideal For:
Urban culture seekers
this is not a city school; nightlife and trendiness are minimal.
Brand-name obsessives
respected but not elite-tier in national perception.
Hyper-individualists
collaboration is the culture; lone-wolf energy may feel isolated.
Liberal arts generalists
VT’s strength lies more in STEM and applied fields than in humanities.
Weather avoiders
winters can be snowy, and the campus is quite remote.
