Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

Richmond isn't dangerous unless you go out in the middle of the night alone into stupid places where the cops aren't monitoring. There are so many cops there is hardly anything to be afraid of. It has its ghetto areas but overall the campus is amazzzing! Being in the city is so enjoyable. Most everyone that applies gets in but the dumb/lazy people usually drop out after the first year. Unlike other schools in Virginia, VCU accepts people with GPAs that aren't perfect but as a result everyone gets a second chance to succeed academically. I had a 3.4 in high school and I didn't get accepted to a lot of schools I applied. I didn't work as hard as I could have but after getting college I tried and it was awesome to have a chance to do that.

No stereotypes are correct. I don't believe in them.

fairly

Yes, both have their positive and negative aspects.

The VCU student stereotype is typically accurate only to those students from the Richmond area. Not all VCU students are hipsters. The student body is actually extremely diverse, and you rarely see a group of students who all have the same style. The VCU student body is what you could call very mix-and-match. The university is very arts-oriented, but our MCV campus proves that we are not limited to the arts alone.

Not 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, but the art students do add a certain flair to the school, and the rich white kids...well, they need to learn how to cross the street.

Yes.

unknown

I think a lot of people think that VCU is an easy school, but in reality it's not. I'll admit that its not difficult to get into, but just because they're willing to give people a chance it doesn't mean they have lowered the bar.

pretty much, but definitely not always.
