Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

As I already said, our campus is extremely diverse. VCU is definitely not one of those all white preppy girl rich boy type schools. There are so many different races and religions but everyone just kind of mixes together an gets along with everyone. I didn't even notice the difference after the first day there. There is also a mix of different backgrounds so I wouldn't say there is a majority of rich people or anything else like that, just a little bit of everything. I don't see a lot of the typical preppy college kid stereotype either except for sororities and frats..but even they aren't too bad. I do think our campus and faculty are mostly liberal though. I do like how a lot of the students here are very trendy, we are pretty on point with fashion. Yeah some people wear a sweatshirt and sweat pants everyday like the typical student but not as much as other schools.

groups on campus: love to recruit out of place: no one wear: clothes that represent themselves and what they like interact: only if there is overlap between them 4 tables: seperated by races (white, black, asian, middle eastern) students from: virginia, mainly from 757 area financial: middle class politically aware: only a minority of students are left right or center: don't know how much earned: all the time when discussing their major

I've been really involved in the cultural organizations. Although some times it is so much for me to handle, I still love it.

Many diverse groups on campus.

VCU is the most diverse school I've ever seen. I have visited other campuses and their racial, religious, and otherwise diversity doesn't even compare to VCU. I don't think a single student could feel out of place at VCU. We have a large art school here. Art kids are known for being somewhat eccentric and therefore have their own sense of style--which is cool--to each his own. We have a fairly large Greek community--collars always popped. We have a large number of international students who try one way or another to assimilate themselves to the university. Four tables in the dining hall: The jocks, the sorority girls/frat guys, the art kids, the Dean and his posse. Most VCU students are from either the Greater Richmond area, Northern VA, or Hampton Roads. I think most students that attend are from upper-middle class backgrounds. Students at VCU, in my opinion, are predominantly liberal.

My experiaces with racial, religious, LGBT, etc are very good, diverse, accepted and encouraged within the student body. Honestly I do not feel anyone would feel out of place at VCU. Students wear a variety of things to class from sweats to suits but mostly jeans with t-shirts. Different types of students interact regularly at VCU. 4 tables in the dinning hall; one would consist of theater students, the other two girls, one with two guys, and the last would be one with three girls that are ethicly diverse. Most students at VCU are from Virginia. Most finanicial backgrounds are from high low class to high middle class homes. Students are very politically aware and active. Most students are liberal or center. Most student do not talk about their future incomes.
