Thanks!!

Can I get a little help, Norfolk State hosted Virginia State in 1997 in the annual Labor Day Classic the attendance was listed at 34,000. A friend of mine told me that this was the largest football game ever played in Hampton Roads. I believe that there was a game with a higher attendance. Please help and give reference. Thank you!!!

Interesting view of Norfolk. Very nice pictures.

I just think it would be great for a school in our area to be rated in the top 100 best engineering schools. The higher the better. I have no idea who "graduateshotline.com" may be. Maybe someone on this site could provide us some insight. They seem to be an online site that ranks graduate schools.

How can we get ODU into the top 100 engineering schools in the country? Today we are publishing the list of the top 100 engineering colleges in United States of America. As many of the universities have started admission process for the next batch of 2010, students all over the world are looking for the top colleges. US News Corp and World report has recently published their list of the top 10 engineering graduate schools in the USA. This year’s list contains most of the usual contenders but there are several other newcomers into the list.

I need your help. Please do not take this the wrong way (only serious replies please) I took a senior level geography course (for teacher recertification points) years ago at ODU where the final exam was name the states and capitals. Although I thought this to be well under college material the class was very popular and the professor was well known. I have forgotten his name and would like to know anyone who can give his name to me. Also I would like to know the name of the satistics professor who was not allowed to fail any students because he had to failed to many students prior. This was also a very popular course and well known among students at that time. The professor was a good man who did a fine job, that was underappeciated. I need to contact them for personal reasons. Please, no jokes.

Student Demographics and Tuition Student Population Number of Students Total enrollment: 29,168 Undergraduate enrollment: 20,327 3. Virginia Polytechnic Institute Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, or simply Virginia Tech, was established in 1872, and is one of Virginia's top colleges and universities. The Institute is located in the rural setting of Blacksburg, in the western central part of Virginia. The university is composed of seven separate colleges and universities, including the College of Engineering, College of Natural Resources, College of Science, Pamplin College of Business, and more.

Student Demographics and Tuition Student Population Number of Students Total enrollment: 21,274 Undergraduate enrollment: 15,275 ODU is the fifth largest college in Virginia, of course a Light Rail needs to stop there but, do not say 25,000 students are on campus. 17,000 sounds better. I am not trying to start a argument, ODU is a fine school, that number way to large. I would like to see 25,000 at a football game, that would place both Norfolk Universities in the top ten in attendance in 1-AA.

The Office of Distance Learning extends the value of a regionally-accredited university education through a variety of distance learning options, including TELETECHNET, a satellite delivery network established in 1994. Additionally, Internet and computer-based deliveries make higher education more convenient, flexible, and easily accessible for working students and those in rural communities. Old Dominion offers nationally ranked programs in the sciences, engineering, arts and letters, health sciences, business and education. Our network includes nearly 50 locations throughout Virginia and as far away as Arizona, Georgia, Washington State, the Bahamas, and even U.S. Navy ships and submarines deployed around the globe. No matter where our students are located, we are committed to providing them with high-quality instruction, advising, and student support services. (They count these as ODU students) More than 3,500 students have graduated from Old Dominion University's Distance Learning program. Our students have been recognized for outstanding academic achievement and have been chosen for a wide variety of exciting professional positions following graduation. As you look at our web site and learn more about distance learning opportunities available to you, we hope you will decide to join our growing family of Old Dominion University students and alumni who have completed all or part of their studies through the Office of Distance Learning. (This is from the ODU web site) There is nowhere near 25,000 or 20,000 students going on ODUs campus on a given day, maybe 10,000-15,000 but not that many more. I used to teach at ODU. Could someone find the offical numbers and reference it so that others can see it also?

A stop at ODU would be perfect. I do not think ODU can be left out of any plans but do not say that 25,000 people are trying to get to the campus on a given day, that is just not the case.

ODU does not have 25,000 students on campus. Most of those are telnet students as far away as Washington State where my cousin got his ODU degree. Most of those telnet students could not find ODU if you placed them on Hampton Blvd.

I have a lot of friends that graduated from ODU, they have never seen the campus in Norfolk and it would be nice if ODU would get those alumni interested in activities.

WOW Rusthebuss, Those dumb people at NSU must have really done a job on you, what is with all the hate??

Did Blackfin close????

It would be great but give everyone a home game. Do not think that the only place to play is Hampton Roads.
