Since my major is Fashion Design in the School of Arts I have almost all my classes with girl at the most 16 so our classrooms are always focused. They are each very different and unique but we can count on each other many times for help and they are very friendly girls as well.

Stuck someplace between inside and outside of the both, but completely convinced they are either totally out or in, and never seem to realize how much of a sponge they are until graduation when they finally start to reflect on what has happened over the course of the past four year- all their influences, all their motivations, the knowledge and resources available to them, and then they question if they have absorbed enough. I think most answer yes, they have.

DIVERSE. Very into music, politics, very liberal school (for hte most part)

There are many different kinds of students at VCU, but many were artistic, emo type students since it is an art school. I also noticed many students smoked!

The students at VCU are awesome! Most students aren't politically active but there are groups of students that are. I think the majority of the students are apathetic to politics. I hang out with students that are on the left side of the political spectrum. There is ethnic diversity but not enough in my opinion. The diversity at VCU comes from the ideas and lifestyles at VCU. There are so many kinds of people.

It seems that different types of students interact with each other, I cannot wait to experience it firsthand.

No type of student would feel out of place. Because of the large number of students, there are too many types of students running around campus for any one person to feel like an outsider. The only hazard for students is having a closed mind to new possibilities and ways to think. I would say most of the students there are more towards the left, but I probably say that because I'm more towards the right. There are too many varieties of what is worn to class to name any particulars, but I've seen pajamas, jeans, liberty spikes in the hair, chains on the pants, booty shorts, you name it.

Most students are dressed scenster / retro. But no matter what you wear, there's a group for you. I was fortunate enough to make quick friends with a lot of my class within the theatre department. I guess my experience was different just because I am in a school of the arts program. Theatre kids do tend to flock together because we understand one another through our art. I know I usually don't interact with other major students unless they are in one of my classes or if I knew them pre-college life. A lot of the students here are liberal so they tend to take action & such.

Since VCU is very diverse, there's always a group that you could click with. What i had in common with most people that i stayed friends was the fact that i moved here from another country. Finding that common ground with others made me feel comfortable in forming friendships. Additionally, meeting people that have the same major as you can be very beneficial. Not only do you form a friendship that way but you get information about which classes you should take, deadlines to meet, important info, etc...

If you are looking for a race, religion, sexual orientation, group, what ever you can find it at vcu. The class body is more diverse than the general population. VCU is more liberal than VA, more liberal than a lot of places, but you can still find every political ideology.
