Virginia Tech is NOT a "southern school"......
According to the VT website:
Top five home states of out-of-state freshmen:
1. New Jersey
2. Maryland
3. North Carolina
4. Pennsylvania
5. New York
(See where our main out of state draw is from?)
In-state distribution of where all undergraduates are from:
Northern Virginia 8,713
Central 3,164
Valley 2,859
Hampton Roads 2,354
Southern Piedmont 919
Southwest 540
Eastern Shore 73
(Largest single contingent by far, is from Northern Virginia, for which most people living there, do not consider themselves traditional "southerners".)
According to the Drive for 25 website:
Top ten states for Virginia Tech Alumni:
1. North Carolina
2. Maryland
3. Florida
4. Pennsylvania
5. California
6. Texas
7. Georgia
8. New Jersey
9. New York
10. South Carolina
(That's a 50/50 split of south vs. non-south, unless you don't really consider Florida a southern state. Then it tips to non-south.)
