VA Tech is massive. It's a full-fledged, highly respected university, the largest in western Virginia.

25,000+ students with a 16:1 Student to Faculty ratio. That's a huge school.
Let me quote that page for the lazy:
Quote:
Founded in 1872 as a land-grant college named Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College, Virginia Tech is now a comprehensive, innovative research university with the largest full-time student population in Virginia. Through a combination of its three missions of learning, discovery, and engagement, Virginia Tech continually strives to accomplish the charge of its motto: Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).
