460 only divides East Campus

East Campus is just one set of dorms. If you don't live in East or are not on the swim or indoor track team, you'll never have to cross 460. The majority if housing and all academic buildings are on main campus. My daughter lived in East for two years and it was no issue at all.

Christopher Newport is a nice smaller state school but with her credentials
Hokie1744 • 10/06/25 07:22 PM ET
She actually got some info from CNU when they visited her High School.

I believe RC was mentioned earlier...lol**
EDGEMAN • 10/06/25 07:42 PM ET
Wife got her masters at ETSU. I haven't thought of it, but maybe.
HokieGator • 10/06/25 04:04 PM ET
ETSU give in state tuition to areas within certain range- we could have
bigbadbird • 10/07/25 02:48 PM ET
Out of state tuition in NC is a major consideration now

Campbell Camels was going to be my (parents) second choice after VT
Burruss Writer • 10/06/25 03:15 PM ET
Any interest in law school? Campbell has that covered.**
DonHo-kieHi • 10/07/25 08:07 PM ET

VT has a smaller feel than JMU so skip JMU IMO. It's not just about
BG Hokie • 10/06/25 02:19 PM ET
Doesn't JMU have an interstate that divides its campus?
EDGEMAN • 10/06/25 02:34 PM ET
Liberty is somewhat similar, IMO.

460 only divides East Campus ◄
Happy Dog • 10/07/25 10:00 AM ET
They do seem to have a better football program...lol**
EDGEMAN • 10/07/25 05:33 AM ET
Oh no you didn’t!**
HokieGator • 10/07/25 02:28 PM ET
I always thought the interstate running thru the middle of campus was odd.**
HokieNoVA • 10/06/25 02:44 PM ET
Necessary evil in expansion. I remember when there was one lonely building
BG Hokie • 10/07/25 08:52 AM ET

Liberty isn't small - around 17,000 on campus and lots of classes online.

If you're going to Milligan anyway, stop by King on the way
JoesterVT • 10/06/25 01:18 PM ET
Yeah, she’s familiar with King. They go to a Christian youth camp there
HokieGator • 10/06/25 03:01 PM ET
Your daughter sounds like mine. She started at Emory and finished at VT.
