15 Pictures Of VT That Will Make You Wish You Were Starting School Tomorrow

Congratulations! You’re officially a Hokie! Now, there’s plenty of time to plan out your dorm room, buy lots of Virginia Tech merchandise, meet your classmates online, check out student-run organizations, and educate yourself on all the Hokie trivia. But to get you really amped up for the next four years ahead, here are 15 pictures of VT that will make you want to start the semester ASAP!

1. Give a Hokie Hokie Hokie Hi!

This main entrance to the campus invites you to the beginning of your post-secondary education. And as a newly-admitted Hokie, you’ll be expected learn this chant inside and out.

 

2. Center for the Arts

The Moss Arts Center is the main building for the Schools of Visual and Performing Arts. It’s exhibits and shows, as well as it’s sleek and modern design, makes it a great university attraction.

 

3. From the Horizon

You can see the sun rise and fall from just about anywhere on campus, who doesn’t love that?

 

4. Trail Blazing

Although not associated with the campus itself, Blacksburg has many hiking trails and scenic overlooks that are simply breathtaking.

 

5. A Sweet Escape

The University’s Duck Pond combines the enchanting atmosphere of the forest with the familiarity of the campus. It’s the perfect place to unwind and relax, especially when the sun’s out.

 

 

6. Perfect Timing

7. More than Just a Degree

At VT, we know how to make learning way cooler than just sitting at a desk and taking notes, no matter what major you’re in. This post by the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute’s Robel Lab is of a microscopic picture of our brain cells reacting to a head injury.

Virginia Tech’s Greek organizations truly embody what it means to be supportive, caring and loyal to your friends – in this case, your brothers and sisters.

10. Hokies Make a Difference

Abiding by the university motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), every member of the Hokie Nation has a unique way of making a difference on campus and in the community.
