Virginia Tech
Blacksburg, VA
A public land-grant university in Blacksburg known for strong engineering programs (among the largest engineering colleges in the country) and the Corps of Cadets, one of the largest uniformed student bodies outside the service academies. "Enter Sandman" before Hokies football games at Lane Stadium is one of college football's most famous entrances, and a solid Greek scene rounds out a spirited, small-town campus culture.
