There is a lot of ignorance in this thread. You guys do know that Kirven is from Roanoke which is 30 or so miles from Blacksburg. So he may like the comfortability of a smaller town feel.
Just because it is in the mountains doesn't mean it is "away from civilization." I live here because of the college I go to (Radford, hence the name) and am from a suburb of Washington D.C. so its not like I haven't experienced "civilization," and although outside of the Blacksburg limits is very rural, the city of Blacksburg has a very nice feel to it.
I'm not saying that there's anything against Knoxville or any other city but to say that no one would want a college experience like VT is very ignorant, not to mention the impressions of VT or Blacksburg as being an unsafe place.
