Arrive on time

We highly recommend that you take full advantage of your trip to Blacksburg by allowing yourself the benefit of the entire program.

Vital information about admission to Virginia Tech is provided in the 9 am session, and more specialized information sessions throughout the rest of the day. We have developed a program that is condensed into an informative and activity-packed few hours, so that our visitors traveling long distances have the option of beginning the trip home by 3 pm.

Things to do

Although your day will be packed with information about Virginia Tech, we thought you might be interested in some of the “extracurricular” activities happening in Blacksburg!
