Virginia Tech has taken in some evacuees from Tulane University. Admissions staff worked overtime to get everyone enrolled for the Fall Semester, and local apartment complexes are offering them month to month leases. Tuition and fees are being covered through scholorships and grants, which may also be extended to cover some living expenses. Local families are also opening their homes to those that need it.

It's nice to know that these kids will not have to put their education on hold. But I hope they're prepared for the harsh Blacksburg winters.
