Business Outlook
Pros
Virginia Tech is one of the best schools in the country for STEM fields, so you will be getting a very good education. It's in a quite place, which can be a good thing because there is more time to focus and there is a lot of activities occurring around the school.
Cons
It is basically in the middle of nowhere, which can be a headache sometimes. Eventually the town feels small, and the nearest city is about three hours away. Also, the closest airport (Roanoke) is very small and doesn't provide many traveling alternatives.
