Blacksburg is for Lovers

Just like Virginia, this town is for lovers of life. There is a lot to do here, so if you’re bored, it’s nobody’s fault but your own. You definitely cannot blame Blacksburg. Or your new apartment. Sorry. You’re sure to feel that college town vibe thanks to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (AKA Virginia Tech). Virginia Tech was founded in 1872 and with over 30,000 students, the school’s presence is everywhere. The Wall Street Journal called Virginia Tech one of the top 25 schools for “Best-qualified” students. Plus they ranked 44th in university research in the United States according to their website. Not bad. Virginia Tech definitely has respect amongst the academic community. Translation: prepare to spot many smarty-pants-wearing students around town.

Are you a history buff? Well, even if you’re not, you must like time travel. Climb aboard the time machine and set the gauge for the 18th century. Step out and find yourself at the Historic Smithfield Plantation. In addition to exploring the massive home, you can check out the gardens and a cemetery. You’ll find plenty of history to scope out too. Be sure to check out “Solitude,” a real log cabin built in 1801 which is on the Virginia Tech campus.

Outdoor Adventures

The city offers even more than an academic crowd and great historical locations. Being right next to the Jefferson National Forest means there are countless places to hike and bike here. Part of the Appalachian Trail is nearby, so all you hardcore types can hike or bike your way to Maine if you like! You can find places to go rafting, canoeing, tubing, rock climbing, and do just about any outdoor activity you can come up with. It’s no wonder why Outside Magazine placed it in the top 10 “dream towns” for outdoors enthusiasts.

Fun Facts

Make the move and you’ll join a community that enjoys education, arts, and culture, as well as spending lots of time outdoors. The city has been ranked among the nation’s best places to live by many magazines including Men’s Journal and The Sporting News. Looking for a fun fact to share at your apartment-warming party or to impress your long distance family and friends? This is a realllllly good one: the Mountain Lake Hotel in Blacksburg was where the smash hit Dirty Dancing was filmed. Yes, that’s right. Jennifer Grey, AKA Baby, was put in the corner here and Patrick Swayze lifted her up in that lake right in Blacksburg. You will so be the envy of all your long distance friends with that one. Right?
