VA Tech frosh unsure about future

For the second straight Monday, Virginia Tech freshman Vionca Murray boarded a plane in Queens to fly back to her Blacksburg, VA campus. However, this time she knows she is returning to a very different place.
Murray, who found out about the shooting while watching the news during a flight back to Virginia on Monday, April 16 decided to return to campus to take a Theology exam originally scheduled for the day of the shooting, but then return to Queens for the rest of the year.
“I’m definitely concerned about being on campus,” said the former Francis Lewis high school basketball standout, who played on the Virginia Tech women’s basketball team this year.
After the shooting which left 33 people including the gunman Seung-Hui Cho, 23, dead, Virginia Tech officials cancelled all classes for the remainder of the week, but students had the option of returning to classes the following Monday.
However, college officials gave the students the option of returning to class or working out a final grade with their professors based on their performance in the class up until that point.
“I know most of my friends are taking the grades they have now,” said Murray, who said she had not made a decision about whether to return to Virginia Tech for her sophomore year.
“I’m not sure yet,” she said. “It’s something I am going to talk about with my parents.”
