Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets Class 2021

Congrats to your DD! I'm a rising sophomore in the VTCC so if you have any questions about freshmen year feel free to ask!
My DD is starting this fall in NROTC! She is super excited to be there. She toured academy and 5 university ROTC and fell in love with VT and the Corps. She's there now at orientation and Hokie Camp. Now to really waste your time, here's a dumb question - the website, the VTCC book and the materials sent home from the main university all conflict on *exactly* what size is the darn mattress in New Cadet Hall so - which is it? Twin or Twin XL? And the VTCC keeps referencing some particular type of fitted sheet. What is it? Sorry for the mundane question.

When there is a conflict between the New Cadet Guide and general university info, go with what the New Cadet Guide says. If the NC Guide packing list says regular twin sheets and not twin xl, buy the regular twin. IIRC the issue is that twin xl sheets don't fit tightly enough to pass inspections. ETA: you should be able to download the NC Guide from the Corps website if you don't have it at hand.
 
I sure am thankful for the NROTC scholarship DS received because we are going broke getting the items on his packing list. On top of that, we just bought him a new computer because his old one did not meet the requirements of the College of Engineering. Ouch!
