Virginia Tech reported 33 violent crimes and 29 property crimes on or near campus in 2023.

Crimes reported in 2023

Counts from the college's yearly federal safety report: on campus, on streets next to it, and at buildings it owns or uses elsewhere. They're counts, not rates, so bigger campuses report more, and a low count can also mean fewer people came forward.
