Make friends

A supportive community is important for your well-being, especially during college. It can be hard to know where to begin. But don't stress. Through ExperienceVT there are plenty of opportunities to connect with others.

Living Learning Programs

Hokies who are looking for in-depth involvement should consider joining a Living-Learning Program. These communities integrate what you study, where you live, who you live with, and how you think about the world.

Student Organizations

Joining a student organization is a great place to start your involvement journey. With over 850 registered student organizations, 52 fraternity and sorority chapters, and 32 sport clubs, you're guaranteed to find friends who share similar interests, hobbies, and goals. You can learn more about student organizations by visiting GobblerConnect.

Gobblerfest, GobblerFair, the Fraternity and Sorority Life Showcase, and other events offer in-person opportunities to learn more about student organizations.
