Each year, Virginia Tech welcomes nearly 1,000 transfer students to campus. About one half of our transfer students come from the Virginia Community College System, the other half transfer from other four-year or two-year schools. In order to be considered as a transfer student, you should have attempted 12 or more credit hours at another college or university after you graduated from high school.
Once you transfer to VT, you're a Hokie. As a transfer student, you have access to plenty at Virginia Tech. For starters, Virginia Tech offers a great education with award-winning faculty, research opportunities, a beautiful campus, more than 600 clubs and organizations, and great food. Not to mention, the opportunity to be a Hokie! (Wait, I may have already mentioned the Hokie deal, but it's a big deal -- worth multiple mentions. If you become a Hokie, you'll get what I mean!)
Now for the nitty-gritty…
Shelter
I’m going to be real with you here. When it comes to living on campus, housing for transfer students it is limited. On the flip side, there are many off campus housing options. To learn more, visit our off campus housing website.
Nom Nom Nom
As for the food, that's another story. There is no limit there! The food is good, it wins awards, and there's plenty of it! Really, the bottom line is that you need a dining plan. Read more...
Transportation & Parking
If you do land a dorm, then you can get a resident parking permit. That doesn't mean that you will score a parking space directly in front of the buildings you frequent for classes each day. That simply means that your parking permit will have a big "R" on it to indicate that you are a "resident student." If you live off campus, the same deal applies -- no reserved parking. Or shall I say, no desirable reserved parking. Instead, your parking permit will have a big "C" on it for "commuter student." Minus the fact that areas of campus can be hilly, this is a bike and pedestrian friendly campus. Oh, and with Blacksburg Transit (the bus that gets you around campus and the Town of Blacksburg), you might not even need your car. Should you choose to go green and not bring your car to campus, consider participating in the FREE Bike, Bus, & Walk (BB&W) program.
