What do you enjoy most about VT or your major? I fell in love with VT's school spirit. I immediately felt welcomed, knowing I made the right decision to transfer. The community is supportive and positive and everyone is happy and to be at VT! I love being proud of the school I go to and I have no doubt I’ll always be.
What one piece of advice would you give to a potential transfer student? Be confident!! Transferring schools is a huge decision in itself since it can be accompanied by uncertainties. When I transferred, my independence grew tremendously. Confidence helped me a lot when I started at VT. I put myself out there and joined various organizations that allowed me to meet so many people.
