Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 295038, member: 780"] How Va Tech manages to be as good as they have been is amazing to me. People criticize SU for it's location, but Blacksburg is far worse, IMHO. Less snow, but far more isolated. And the area is more "West Virginia" than "Northern VA". It truly is in the middle of nowhere. Its a hard 4 or 5 hour drive from DC. And there's not much in between except Richmond and Richmond is a dead place. The VT campus is bleak. It's an attempt at being a military school. VT is an afterthought---a 2nd class citizen --- in VA with all the oxygen sucked up by UVA. It amazes me how they are able to do what they do. [/QUOTE]
