MS in Environmental Engineering - Batch of 2023

The university helps you to grow and be independent.
Tips: I did experience a cultural shift in a good way. The people here are more open and friendly and there is a lot of mutual respect one holds for others including strangers. On the same token, the environment is a lot more competitive and lonelier so that can be tricky to navigate.

It is one of a kind experience worth reminiscing about.
Tips: Students should take advantage of their time here by collaborating on projects, going to the career fair and engaging with their peer group as the Virginia Tech experience is also essential to build yourself for the workforce. It would be wise to come with a scholarship that too for one of the programs that is ranked highly among the university.

It has been above my expectations and you get to expect great student life at VT.
Tips: I initially used to think that Virginia Teach would be a very academic environment with less time for anything else but here you are encouraged to explore your interests outside of the classroom be it sports, volunteer ship or a hobby, you can really make the best out of everything that campus has to offer while getting a good quality education.

Master of Science in Civil Engineering - Batch of 2024

Internships are easily available. Civil department is good.
Tips: I have become a lot more independent. A cultural shock I experienced was the small talk and greetings with strangers, which is not practised in India. I had a scholarship. I got it as I was a research assistant and a teaching assistant for 2 semesters. I am highly satisfied with the course however it gets stressful at times.
Likes (Internships): There are a lot of good opportunities for Civil Engineering. Since Virginia Tech is highly reputed in the civil department, it is not very difficult to find an internship. The internships available are very much relevant to the field of study. There are a lot of options available.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is just one Indian restaurant in Blacksburg, which is not that great and is overpriced. There are a lot of other options like Mexican, Chinese, American, Korean, Thai etc. However no good Indian restaurants. The nearest good one is 40 minutes car ride away.
