From an inland port in Washington County to a new medical school in Fredericksburg, this budget sets some long-term projects into motion.

Need to get a bunch of blood work done. I usually go to labcorp back home but looking for someplace local that is clean and has friendly staff. I don’t want to go through the school because they don’t accept insurance. Thanks in advance!

Incoming grad student. I’m not actually too sure how it works, but I’m assuming you pay a flat fee to sit in the student section for all the games, which I don’t think makes sense to buy. I probably won’t go to all the home games (maybe like 2?) and then it makes more sense to buy general admission tickets to avoid the nonsense associated. Just wanted to get others thoughts before I click buy.

Hi, I"m currently a senior in the south looking at my opinions for college, I've been looking at schools in VA, PA, excluding the ivies lol. I was wondering how some current students like VT and why they picked it over their other choices, especially any biomechanical / biology people :))

Okay here’s the issue, I go to VT and my significant other goes to Radford.

For whatever reason our spring breaks are exactly a week off from each other, the only overlap is one weekend. I would still like to spend time with them but I am also worried about academics. I know that college is different from high school but would it be detrimental to maybe miss a few days after the VT spring break in order to go on a short trip?

I don’t know if it makes any difference but I am in the ISC program and I will have one online class and likely one other in person class next semester.

Note: my idea was that I would miss mon and tue getting back from spring break and they would miss the Friday before theirs so 5 only 2 absences for me 1
for them

I graduated in May 2025 and I've been working my first career job for a bit now and I've been interested in exploring my options at the coming career fairs. I unfortunately never went to any of them back when I was in undergrad so I feel like it could be a good opportunity to talk about my experience and get my foot in the door at a different company. Anyone have any experience with this?

Hi, I am an incoming freshman and was wondering if there were any incoming clubs or groups that play yugioh at vt

Ik 15 credits are normally recommended but I got some classes off because I earned AP credits. Should I still take more random classes to fill out the 3 credits or would I be fine.

Hey everyone, I need any and all advice i could get on this situation. I'm a returning student and I'm an alternative for SL but housing managed to somehow miss me on the list for early dorm selection and I never got a chance to pick my own room.

I emailed housing later about it and they just said that they'll assign me to a room if I mentioned my requirements and added me to a room that matches my requirements kind of but not my best option and I'm still very annoyed by it.

I moved in today only to find out that my roommate who moved in earlier than me has occupied 70% of the room, blocked off the window with her bed and mattress topper with no air circulation now, filled the common shared 5 level huge shelf in the wall with her things. There's just no space for me to organize any of my stuff.

I tried talking to her and explaining how we could reorganize but she kept trying to avoid or postpone the topic. Then just said she understands where I'm coming from but that she doesn't want to change anything because it's not convenient for her.

What do I even do in this situation? Communication is not the answer because I tried that key already and it's clearly not working. Can I take this to an SL or just email housing about this messed up situation and request to accommodate me?

I'm also easily prone to getting skin allergies and rashes in hot rooms and with how she set up her stuff, I'm practically stuck in a corner with little to no breathing space and I feel so suffocated. Can housing accommodate me in this situation?

Hi everyone! So I’m planning on visiting my boyfriend for the first game of the season, he has a season student pass and I just have a normal ticket near the north east side. I was hoping you guys can give some feedback and tips on how to get into the student section, if it’s hard, and if the rules are strictly enforced.

didn’t do great my first 2 years due to health and mental health issues. have stuff to back this up and have already began process to remove some of this via academic relief system.

i will be a 3rd year now. i was wondering if it would be possible with some credits i already have, to complete a degree within my last 2 years. for reference, i was already a stem student so some of the credits i have would be helpful already.

let’s say, i switch to biology for example. this scenario is including if i were to take 3 classes during the summer between junior and senior year. would be willing to do more if it means i can stay on track to graduate in may 2028.

I am a future hokie and I haven't updated my STARS or done my online orientation. Will my admissions get revoked?

Everything else is completed. I'm really really scared.

I found out I’d be able to graduate a year early which would save me almost $80,000. The issue is that I need to take a class that is only offered in the fall to be able to do so. The class is full, and I filled out the force add request. It’s been placed on hold but I also emailed the professor of the class but no response from her yet.

There is unfortunately only one professor and one section of this class, and my advisor said there was nothing he could do unless they open a new section.

I am praying to God that they do because I am really struggling with finances, and one year less of tuition would seriously save me. I did sign up for the class during course request but it was denied since I was taking a prerequisite for it over the summer.

If anyone has any advice, I would greatly appreciate it🫶
