I'm super into the strong engineering programs and the sense of community at Virginia Tech. It's one of my top choices, but I want to expand my list. Does anyone know similar schools that are strong in STEM and have a tight-knit campus vibe?
Hi there! I'm delighted to hear you're considering Virginia Tech for its strong engineering programs and community feeling. Adding similar schools to your list is a savvy move. You might want to consider schools like North Carolina State University, which is known for its engineering and has a vibrant campus life. Purdue University in Indiana could also be a fantastic match, with its stellar reputation in STEM fields and a lively student community. Additionally, Texas A&M University is another institution with a robust engineering department and a sense of tradition that contributes to a close community atmosphere.
Exploring these other options might give you that similar sense of belonging and academic rigor you appreciate in Virginia Tech, but they are by no means the only option. Best of luck building your college list!
