What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
If I had the ability to go back in time and talk to myself as a senior about the college process and transition I believe I would be a little better off now. The main thin I would tell myself is to start earlier with everything. I would make sure that I had applied to a lot more scholarships than I did, and to hand them in well in advance of the deadline. I would also tell myself to start saving for the equipment and books needed during the school year, if not before as opposed to just during the summer. About the transition between high school and college, I would tell myself to start spending as much time with the people I loved and cared about as possible because I wasn?t going to be able to see them for a long time. I would also tell myself to keep in touch with friends form high school while away, but at the same time not be afraid of getting new friends at college.

Read all 1 answers What is your overall opinion of this school?
The best part about VI is the way that the students, faculty, and staff all interact with each other on campus. Yes VI is a small school and people tend to get involved in other people's business, but we are such a close knit community and we are all so close that those little disagreements tend to resolve themselves quickly. The Quad is one area of campus that is almost always crowded. During the spring and summer events will be held there and people will be out working on homework, tanning, enjoying a game of frisbee, soccer, or football and in the winter it is not uncommon for there to be people making snowmen, having snowball fights, and enjoying sledding behind the dorm buildings. Sometimes the school's administration can make judgments that us students do not see has being best for the school. One of VI's enduring facets is its historical aspect and its creativity. Our school has changed, but I do feel that the majority of the changes, however hard they were to make, were for the best. If you want to know what our school pride looks like attend a home basketball game and you will see how much the students love this school.

Originally a photography major, VI excels in that major. I then switched to Equine and pre-vet and once again I found VI at the top of the field in these areas.

It is easy to stand out at VI and there is plenty to get involved in that will grow your resume and impress any grad school or job you apply to.

Read all 1 answers What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?
The worst thing about my school, Virginia Intermont College, would have to be the dinning hall hours. Mainly the dinner hours. The dinning hall opens for dinner at 4:30 P.M. and closes at 6:30 P.M. This can become a problem to those who have late classes or are at the barn a majority of the day. Most of the students are not used to the early dinner. Having to go out and buy dinner a couple nights a week can get pretty though when you are a college student.
