What is it Like Living in Blacksburg?
Blacksburg, VA is the largest town in the state. A unique and thriving community, it is home to the state’s largest land-grant university, Virginia Tech. The presence of the university has made Blacksburg a booming high-tech center. But none of this has reduced the “small town” feel of the community.
This is why Southern Living has named Blacksburg the “Best College Town in the South,” and why Businessweek has named it, the “Best Place in the US to Raise Kids.”
