Pros
On the learning end, the school has a wide array of technical areas for study, LOTS of research opportunities, and an experienced and knowledgeable faculty. On the working end, the university does what it can to accommodate your work schedule and school schedule.
Cons
For a technical school, Virginia Tech really falls short in some areas. There are very few online classes, the on-campus wireless service can be spotty, and a lot of the automatic grading programs for the computer classes have major bugs. On top of it all, the school requires that you own a laptop for use in class but then doesn't have enough electrical sockets to plug in if you need to; it's getting better, but it's still a problem.
