Her major (aerospace engineering) was a very popular major
when I entered VT in 1965. It also had a very high “turnover” rate as well….
And no, it was not my major at anytime I was at VT, but I did have two roommates that were in the program - one changed major in the third quarter of his freshman year, and the other, who had a photographic memory, graduated with that degree.

The killer with baseball, softball, and golf are the multi-day road trips
