Although I'm not a graduate of VT, it has amazing research programs.

The town reminded me of the university town of Ann Arbor, MI. Not as expansive, but good stores, nightlife and a huge football stadium. Quite far from cities like Richmond (3.5 hours) and DC (4 hours), which are perhaps the nearest big cities and big airports around.

Located in the heart of the Shenandoah valley, good places to hike and camp around.

Fun fact - the Roanoke Star near VT is the world's largest freestanding star.
