Virginia Tech: As Strong As It's Always Been

At Virginia university in April 16 of this year 23 years old man Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people and later committed a suicide. He was in his final year at college.
After one week mourning finished and students again started to go to university. Everybody are trying to forget that event and to act as if nothing have happened. I was amazed to hear and read that director of undergraduate admissions has received e-mails and notes from some students who say they want to be part of Virginia Tech now more than ever. I can not understand how people can be so stupid, even so lip-deep. Moreover, it was strange to hear that foreign students are not rejecting admission offers because of the shootings at university. If i were one of those students i would reject that admission offers. I would scare that this tragedy can happen again. I'm surprised that other students do not care about their lives enough. Also it was quite sad for me to hear that university officials did not react more quickly and did not warn about a gunman at university in time. Maybe this mistake which they did caused this tragedy.
In conclusion, I want to say that I do hope that this tragedy will never happen again.
