June 2019 - Blacksburg


While at the end of my time in Tennessee, I decided to check on sublets available in Blacksburg for the summer. I found a 4 BR (furnished and vacated) apartment next to the campus for a good deal for the last week of June and the month of July. I arrived in Blacksburg on June 22 and immediately took a nice walk on the campus.  It has been many years since I was roaming around Blacksburg. Some parts of the campus have changed a lot.  My old dormitory was bulldozed and a brand new one was built on the footprint. Here are some pictures.
