College Bar And Its Academic Rhythms

By Debra Wood


There are many towns in the nation that are recognized because they play host to good schools. These are the so called college towns or academic centers whose life has symbiotic relationships with the towns where they are found. Residents all have some connection to the institution of higher learning in these places and they mostly try to serve the needs of students.

Schools found in the southern part of the country offer historical reputations and really excellent training current for the times. The best of them include a place commonly known as Virginia Tech, which is a polytechnic and state university, the institution that college bar Blacksburg serves. This is one of the oldest and best engineering schools to be found anywhere in the country.

In the city the campus of this school has a family history that dates back centuries. The Black family patriarch Samuel gave the land area for the current VT campus through the property he gave his son John, while he gave Blacksburg its downtown through land he bequeathed his son William. Both students and residents have benefited from these bequests.

The places for students here often have excellent vibes and alcohol is often a secondary item to aid the academic mind. There are activities geared for relaxing or chilling and a lot of students go because they need some time for relaxing or having fun. Activities can be formal and informal, of any kind, like socials, frat meetings and simple meetings of friends.

A typical Saturday will have people hopping from bar to bar at very affordable prices. The thing here is to have fun places to mingle and not about being posh or exclusive. Places here feature enough decoration and regalia and other abstruse symbolic stuff so that they can offer something unique to students and patrons.

Some bars specialize in sporting games that can be conducted while drinking. Darts are the most popular games, while there can be others available, depending on preference or availability, things like board games. There will be a TV or two in most places, and there are those which feature all kinds of sports channels on many TV sets.

The food here is filling and affordable by far, but in bars it is simply one sidelight that can be had. This is for times when people need something to eat more than something to quaff, and these can also be great, made with local ingredients and cuisines. VT students or Hokies of any persuasion will have some favorite place to chill out.

About a dozen bars or perhaps more are there for you to hop on or hop out of. And these mostly cater to the student population, about two devoted exclusively to pumping up school team supporters. For those where fratboys converge, ritual stuff like a punch with high alcohol content is served to anyone entering the premises.

Bars accommodate the student rhythms, whether the need is for a drink, some companionship or usually both, and they know how to take care of rowdy academic hijinks. Most people here know most other folks and Blacksburg is one of those known to be a great place to live in the South.
