Traveling to Virginia Tech
Welcome to Tech! We hope that while you are here you will enjoy your time. This section describes lodging and activities outside of chemical engineering in Blacksburg.
Hiking
While Blacksburg might be the farthest thing from culture, the remoteness of our town places it directly in the middle of amazing hiking. Get here early and explore the wilderness. The nearest trailhead is only 15 miles from campus so take this opportunity to brag to your friends that you hiked (part) of the Appalachian Trail.
