Good thing my alma mater is ranked at something because the "nationally ranked" football team is absolute crap this year. // not bitter at all about 2 losses i

  Have no fear... we're not so nationally ranked anymore. I went to Virginia Tech specifically for their extensive co-op program and large & effective career services department; nice to see that they're still running on all cylinders 10 years later. NB: Having a good engineering & Comp Sci curriculum didn't hurt either.

    I also chose Tech for their strong engineering program. But it seemed to have really pick up steam in the last few years and they've developed a strong reputation, internationally. Where if you weren't Ivy, UC, Stanford or MIT you couldn't get much respect. Last time I stepped foot in Blacksburg they pegged me with $100 parking ticket and wouldn't release my transcripts until it was paid. They get you coming and going!

      Unless they've raised rates (entirely possible), the only $100 ticket you could get was parking in a handicapped zone... tsk tsk tsk!

  As a UVA student, all I have to say is that it gets better with time. Losing to an FCS team is never easy, but eventually you will be able to laugh again. At least it was only once. We're making losing to Duke a yearly tradition.
