The largest town in Virginia, in terms of population, Blacksburg is home to about 42,000 proud residents. It also happens to be home to Virginia Tech. Though most cities tend to get swallowed up by the collegiate atmosphere, Blacksburg perfectly blends a college vibe with a settled community.
Blacksburg is loved for its progressive and cultural community, gorgeous scenery, large art scene, and its prestigious university.
