Anyone Got a Transfer Credit of CS 3744 From Other College?

I want to try to get that credit in winter semester, but I've been searching for a while, I can't find a college that have an equivalent transfer credit for CS 3744. If there's any transfer student got that credit from other college, could you please tell me the college name + course name? Thank you so much. I really need to get this credit by winter, and VT & VT community college is not offering this on winter....

Smartway Express

Is the Smartway Express bus towards research institute free for students? I know the regular Smartway bus is free when you show the Hokie P. Does that apply to the Express one as well?

Spring transfer housing

Hi everyone,

I'm transferring to VT spring 2025, and I have no idea where I can find housing. Does anyone have rec's where I can find a sublease other than Facebook. Also why is housing so expensive I don't get it.

Will I be able to declare my major sophmore year as mechancial or electrical engineering if I apply as first-year engineering undecided?

I noticed on the VT website that certain engineering majors are restricted (such as the ones mentioned above). I always assumed this is for other schools trying to internal transfer. But, would I have to specify my interest in one of those majors in order to get into them?

Does anyone have experience with transferring from another university and having their credits transfer into Pamplin? What percentage were taken and how far behind were you when you transferred in (if at all)?

Has any one heard of the Blacksburg Country Club swinger group?

I’ve recently heard some unsettling rumors about a social circle at the country club that allegedly involves drug use and swinger activities, with several prominent people in the community supposedly part of it. The word is that some of these individuals are well-known figures—business leaders, public officials, and even school administrators.

My daughter, a sophomore, mentioned hearing that both the school president and athletic director might be connected to this group. I was really shocked to hear that, as these are people in highly visible roles in our community. I’m wondering if anyone else has heard anything about this or can speak to whether there’s any truth behind these allegations.

I’d actually been looking at getting my daughter a membership, hoping she’d have a safe place to relax and enjoy some golf. But now, I’m worried about these people potentially using their influence to try and take advantage of her and pull her into this type of situation.

Things to do with Bf

I feel like Blacksburg is pretty boring when it comes to romantic activities (or I might just be unaware of some fun things). My boyfriend is coming to visit in a few days, and I’d like to see if I can plan something for the few days he’s here. Just spitball, what was the most fun activity you did with your significant other, or even friend(s). We’ve done the Cascades, Farmers Market, and Sinkland Farms. Just wondering if there’s anything else that you guys know of! :D

Edit: I’m open to anything. I do wanna hear as many ideas as possible, but I’m also curious in hearing your guys’ memorable moment.

What grade do I need in Math 1014 to qualify for Chem 1035?

People have said I need a C or better but I can’t find anywhere online where it actually says that. I looked on the chem website for VT and all it says for qualification is to have “Credit from 1014”

I’m not sure if this has changed since now we are using Aleks and it’s a much more “you’re own your own” type thing. I’m struggling in this class and I can’t use VT math tutor since the math empo is caput.

VT Alumni Email

Hi,

Wondering if any of you got the email saying that your email account will switch over tomorrow 11/12 and you will lose your email services? It sounds like it is transferring back over to gmail from outlook but I was told I’m losing my @vt.edu. For reference I graduated May 2023 and have friend who graduated before me that still have theirs. So if I have an alumni email is it still @vt.edu or a different address? Thanks!

making friends as an adult in a new country

I am a graduate, international student have been in blacksburg for 2.5 months (which is not alot ik). But I haven’t found anyone who I can exchange words regularly. I have always been in friend groups and sometimes its just so frustrating to not have people around. it really gets lonely sometimes. most of the times now. All the clubs usually have undergrad students, they are cool but idk makes me feel out of place. Any suggestions how to make friends. Also, I am queer :)

Looking for Pet-Friendly House for Rent

Hello everyone! I was recently offered a position at VT and am looking to move there in a few weeks. I've already checked Zillow for Pet Friendly houses for rent and the pickings are slim. Any Tips or Hidden rental companies I should take a look at? Or any private renters on here looking to rent out a house?

MechE Major w/ Business Minor

Hello everyone,

I’m a HS senior who got accepted to tech for mechanical engineering, and I was wondering if anyone here has done a minor in business or management while in engineering. I have contemplated eventually getting a masters in engineering management but I don’t know if I should get the minor for the time being. I also talked to some of the VT advisors who told me it’d be difficult to mix classes between the different colleges so I was wondering if anyone could comment on that.

Thanks

Where to meet people (dating)

I want to start meeting some people to potentially date. I’m a freshman in engineering in the engineering hall so there really aren’t any girls in my dorm or classes. All the clubs I’m in also are heavily male-dominated. I don’t think parties are it because I want something lasting and the girls at these parties don’t seem to want that for the most part. Are there any clubs have a decent amount of women? Any other ways?
