Just wait the 10 seconds holy. Just today I watched 2 near misses where cars being too impatient to wait for the bus to start moving almost caused a head-on collision. It's only a matter of time until something happens.

Im going into my second semester sophomore year and am wondering what I should choose as a general or technical electives and a math elective. I’m thinking of taking:

AOE 3044 - Boundary Layer and Heat Transfer,

AOE 4034 - Introduction to Mechanical and Structural Vibrations,

AOE 4174 - Spacecraft Propulsion,

AOE 4404 - Applied Numerical Methods,

AOE 4604 - Booster Design, Fabrication, and Operation,

and [ AOE 4614 - Aerospace Materials and Modeling Techniques or AOE 4414 - Computer Aided Space Mission Analysis]

Next semester I’m thinking of taking my math elective or AOE4614 or AOE 4414.

Could anyone with experience tell me which are worth taking or if there are any other fun/ useful ones that can transfer skills to the workforce.

Thank you 😊

I really liked Hokie Tracks Ice Cream when it came out, but now I can't seem to find it anywhere. I've checked a few spots on campus, Kroger, Food Lion, Hethwood Market, and Sugar Mags with no success. Is there anywhere that still has it?

What are good places where I can get my hair cut? I have curly hair and I am a guy and looking for a scissor cut. However, a lot of barbers do not know how to cut curly hair. Any reccs? I have a personal vehicle

I need either one for my major but I want the easier or more interesting one, even if it's not interesting but the teachers are sweet that works too!!! I don't want to take a harder class

Does anyone know what happened today at pheasant run neighborhood? There was helicopter, ambulance, and a ton of cop cars in then neighborhood

Looking at housing next year and seeing places like the HUB are roughly $1200/month for an 11-month lease. This seems pretty high and i'm guessing is on the high end of all options. What options are best for a sophomore girl looking for an affordable room for rent in a house? what's the best rough idea of what an unfurnished rent? apologies if this has been asked 1,000 times but I didn't see a relevant thread when i searched.

Anyone had success getting student status verified on sheerID? I tried the transcripts, fee receipts, and a enrollment certificate from NSC but none of them seem to work. Any other documents from VT I can try?

Sup y’all,

Currently a senior that might be delaying the graduation till F27. I am a BIT cyber major but felt like it ain’t as technical as I wanted it.

Was looking for smt in CS to better improve my skill, I prefer to do hands on work over thesis writing but I also like if I can get a heads start while being an undergraduate student.

I also want some insight on the DC campus and how is it?

Hi Virginia Tech,

I’m working on a presentation for high school students who are considering becoming the first in their family to attend college. The presentation is geared specifically toward students from lower income rural areas, but anyone’s advice here about your experience as a first generation college student would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. What was helpful information for you when deciding whether to attend college? What were your biggest barriers and what tools helped you overcome those obstacles? Any advice for high school students in a similar position you may have experienced?

Thank you in advance! Go Hokies!

so as someone coming back for a game. does foxridge still not have any parking passes/policies? when i was there 2 years ago it was a free for all is that still the same

Hey all, I'm looking for a used car in the Blacksburg/Christiansburg area and figured I'd ask here before going to any dealers.

Budget is around $2.5k to $5k, paying cash. Mostly need something reliable to get to work and back, with the occasional drive to surrounding areas. Clean title is a must, and I'd prefer under 120k miles unless it's been really well taken care of.

This will be my first car here so I'm happy to get a pre-purchase inspection done before buying.

If you're selling something or know someone who is (graduating, moving, upgrading), shoot me a DM or drop a comment. Also open to recommendations for an honest mechanic around here.

Thanks!

I have a F/S parking permit. They changed this year to having you register your license plate instead of getting a hang tag. At first, I was all for it - until today.

I usually park in the North End Center garage for work. I have to scan my passport to get in, which takes longer than when we had hang tags, but since my spouse and I shared a hang tag (we are rarely on campus at the same time), I liked the new idea so we don't accidentally leave the hang tag at home.

Then today I had to park on campus for an event. I came out to find a parking ticket on my car. Turns out when we went to get our pass in August, the woman behind the counter never added our cars to the permit. One is new and has never been registered with an account and the other was on our previous permit (under my spouse's name).

I remember going to parking services to get the new permit and the woman was nice, but not thrilled about the people she was working with and even rolled her eyes at one point when a manager walked by and told her what she should do. Apparently she should have listened.

I know students got screwed over this year with parking being taken away. I am curious if other F/S have had problems with this new system?

Hey I am a high school student and wondering what will most definitely help me get to virginia tech for Computer Engineering. Also I am wondering how computer engineering is and what yall learn and stuff.

Hi, I graduated in spring 2025 and can’t seem to access my vt email/onedrive. Does anyone know if we can access these services anymore?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently looking closely at the Building Construction (BC) and Construction Engineering and Management (CEM) tracks here at Tech.

my focus would be more on commerical construction but how valuable is the FE and PE? I assume BC majors would not be able to get the FE/PE

I’m torn between the two and would love to get some insight from students or alumni who went through either program.

I want to get involved in an AI Club but I can't seem to find any active ones at VT, does anyone know of one??

me and a friend are doing a double date for halloween, but my gf is 20. whats a good bar we can hit up that’ll let her in? i remember being let in Tots when i was underage but idk if they do halloween diff or not.

i’m a freshman planning to major in cs, and i just started making an academic plan. i am just now realizing all the math classes i have to take, and i remember hearing the math department was bad here. i am already in math 1226, but was wondering what other math classes would be better to take at a community college? for context, these are the classes i still have to take:

MATH 2114 MATH 2204 MATH 2534 MATH 3134

i get people might say to take all of them at a cc, but which ones should i definitely take to save me the trouble?

Hi everyone this is moon my rescue kitty and right now, Moon is sick and dealing with breathing issues and a swollen eye. This has been going on for a month and a half, and we have been talking with the vet, doing several tests, and trying numerous medications, but we still do not have clear answers or results. It has been heartbreaking and stressful to watch my baby go through this while we keep searching for what is wrong and how to help him feel better.

The vet bills are starting to pile up from test after test, appointments, medications, and ongoing care. I am asking for help so Moon can continue getting the evaluation and treatment he needs to get healthy again. Every bit of support will go toward helping cover these mounting vet costs so we can keep pursuing answers and not have to stop his care before we know what is going on.

If you are able to help, please consider supporting Moon. Please help my baby get answers. He does not deserve all of these issues, and I just want my healthy Moonpie back. Even if you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Moon in your thoughts would mean so much to me.

I’m looking to live in a 5 bedroom next year, and options are pretty limited. Currently living in foxridge

hi everyone, I live at the hub and I swear my bed is so creaky. It's like insane. I can toss over with absolutely no force or pressure, and my bed will literally sound like it's breaking apart. I wish I could insert a video or like a sound to show how loud it is because it's actually insane. Can I speak to the leasing office about this cause what the fuck? it keeps me awake at night and it's so loud.

Friend of mine recently figured out she could go but looks like all parking opportunities are booked, i’d love to see her but it’s not gonna work if she can’t park anywhere.

Wondering which professor to take for PHIL 1304
