I came here as a Senior undergraduate in the Fall 2017 and I could not stop thinking about it when my exchanged program was over. I applied for Graduate School and am currently doing an English MS. Would recommend this school everyday!

Eclipsed in terms of both campus size and number of students by nearby Virginia Tech, this university fills a niche as a solid liberal arts college. As an Alabama resident, the tuition was steep; but that's the case anywhere. Radford has about 10,500 students. The professors were good, the gym was nice [ I liked the 2nd floor running track inside the gym]; the tennis courts were nice, and the nearby New River was a really pretty area to jog and walk in and is super close to the university. Fun fact about the New River "Interestingly, the New River flows primarily from south to north. Only a handful of rivers in the world have this unique feature, including the Nile." I used Radford's health services, library and don't recall using any of the dining facilities. I lived off campus in nearby Christiansburg so I can't comment on the dorms/residence halls. One thing this region does right is clearing show. There's a lot of snow here, ya'll. Although the area is hilly, you could count on all roads and sidewalks being cleared of snow in the blink of an eye here! The commute from Christiansburg to Radford was always pleasant and pretty.

    Driving over the mountains north of VT, this marker points out the amazing history of this world…read morerenowned education institution. It is on the side of a busy road but there is a wide breakdown lane if you're interested in risking your life to see and read the marker like me. As it says, this is FIVE MILES from the university so please don't merge it. The marker reads, "Five miles south lies the main campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, founded in 1872 as a land-grant college specializing in agriculture and mechanical arts. The land-grant college system initiated scientific agricultural and industrial instruction in the Commonwealth. Over the next century, Virginia Tech became nationally recognized as a comprehensive research university with a broad range of scientific, technological, business, and liberal arts instruction. The 3,000-acre campus includes the site of Draper's Meadow, where Shawnee Indians attacked settlers on 30 July 1755 at the beginning of the French and Indian War." This is marker number I-2-a and was erected by the Department of Historic Resources in 1998. [Review 19579 overall - 1417 in Virginia - 550 of 2023.]

Beatte Schmidtman made her views very clear at the Virginia tech physics annual picnic, when she told me to my face several years earlier I am encouraged to see that Mark Pitt is now the department chair. although an ivy leaguer like those two, he was kind and generous by not lording that over the students. while I am hopeful that he will institute change, Heflin and Schmidtman are still very powerful figures there. the dean at the time I was there, Laynam Chang, was aware of this and a couple of times tried to set my mind at ease, telling me how he previously had that same sort of bigotry when he was at berkeley, but learned from his mistakes. but he was unsuccessful in changing the culture, proven by the fact that Heflin and schmidtman are revered there, and achieved high office. if you are a veteran, I recommend going somewhere else where they won't hate you and treat you in a bigoted manner. for instance, VT engineering loves veterans.

First, you will park at the main entrance to Lane Stadium. After a 30 minute information session (which is well-organized), you'll be divided into smaller groups for a 60-minute walking tour to see the interior of a campus building and walk in the residential dormitory area. The campus tour is full of useful information and you'll get a chance to see the interior of a building (but you'll be walking more than 1 mile outside so comfortable walking shoes are a must). Our tour guide walked backwards for much of the tour (which seemed awkward at times). By the end of the tour, you get a sense of how large the campus is (more than 30,000 students) and the Hokie spirit (which values service toward others). Overall, I would recommend the campus tour if you are considering to apply here. The pretty rural location and physical buildings on campus are worth seeing before you commit to applying. One thing that surprised me is that high school students are strongly encouraged to declare their major and college before arriving. Also, the "Hokie spirit" is pervasive on campus, which may be fun for some. The branding logo of Virginia Tech is impressive and appears everywhere from road signs to clothing. I am sure that you will reach your 10,000 step walking goal for the day if you do the tour.
