Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Alex

Our basketball team, I think is what we're best known for. Also our undefeated football team ( which is an inside joke for VCU students)

Kristen

VCU is probably best known for it's hospital, the Medical College of Virginia, MCV campus, and it's nursing, dental, medical, and pharmacy programs. That is one thing that drew me to the school. I want to go to the VCU School of Pharmacy because it is one of the few Virginia pharmacy schools that is accredited by the ACPE. And it's also a great university with lots of diversity and great basketball!

Dakota

VCU has an amazing arts program and we are ranked number one for sculpting in the entire nation. We also have a great basketball team and an amazing new arena to watch them compete in. We are known for being centrally located in the heart of Richmond right in the middle of everything. VCU is comprised of very talented and different individuals and is first and foremost diverse. Our school truly has a little bit of something for everyone and plenty of school spirit!

Maya

Basketball games, Art School, and being a huge part of Richmond City.

Jessica

You can look at your screwed-up 2011 March Madness bracket to see what VCU is best known for: beating the odds and making the NCAA Final Four in 2011. We "weren't supposed to win" about five or six times. The VCU student section, the Rowdy Rams, made another distinguished impression on the media by parading down Broad Street (the main street in Richmond, where VCU is located), causing traffic jams, a student riot, and a good time for anyone who was down to celebrate VCU's huge accompishment.

VCU is most known for it's high level of diversity. At our school we pride ourselves on this and believe it is an important part of our institution.

Sejal

My school is best known for MCV and our VCU basketball team.

Holly

Virginia Commonwealth University is rich in celebrating history, traditions, as well as school spirit, but remains best known for its’ diversity in both educational programs and student body!

Daniel

I think VCU is best known academically for its strong Arts and Medical programs, but as a university setting it is known best for its great amount of diversity in its student population and as being very strongly integrated into the city of Richmond.
