I really love how our school is located in the city with rich diversity and plenty of opportunities.

Our reserach in science and the medical hospital

The VCU Arts program is number one in the nation! And our Masters of Social Work program is ranked 14th. We have a strong medical school, and an entire medical campus! We also have a top-notch business school.

My school is best known for it's medical program and for probably not having a football team.

VCU's art program is ranked 4th in the nation, however that really only applies to the Sculpture and Painting and Printmaking programs. I attend VCU's Kinetic Imaging program, which was a break-off from the Communication Arts, or Illustration, Department, and although it has been around for a little while and has developed since, it's finally starting to grow and gain recognition in the video and animation worlds. VCU also has a really good medical program in the MCV campus.

My school is locally best known for it art program and it's one of the few campuses that never seem to sleep. Classes start as early as 7:30 in the morning and can end as late as 10:00 at night. Dining centers open around 6 and close around midnight. The library can, at certain times of the year, be open 24 hours. Fitness classes open at five and continue on until around 10 and the gym is open before and after that. And don't even mention the speakers and parties. They can go on forever!
