Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

Because VCU is so diverse, there are a lot of student organizations. Pretty much every ethnicity has their own club. You can get involved with anything!

Sororities and Fraternities of every kind is on campus and most students tend to be attracted to them.

Obviously, VCU Basketball is a big deal. Other than sports, VCU has almost 500 different student organizations. The most popular are the cultural awareness organizations.

There is a lot of greek life. If you choose to be a part of greek life or to party with them, you will see how many students are involved however if you dont, you won't really notice them much. Club sports are very big and our brand new gym is opening up this spring which is exciting because it is going to be huge and really nice and brand new. I like going to the commons theater to see free movies and eat free popcorn and if you go to like five of them, you get a pass to go to the real movie theater in town for half off. The screen in the commons theater on campus is just as big as in a real movie theater too. I know a lot of people who leave there doors open in my dorm, and ive never heard of anything getting stolen. four people live in each room so i dont think anyone would walk in because they wouldnt know if anyone was home or not.

The social life at VCU is among the most vibrant and exhilarating in the country. The city and the campus are a wake 24/7 with social bugs floating around, participating in a number of exciting activities. There are multiple sections of social life in Richmond including downtown Richmond, Cary town, Short pump, Belle Isle, the James River, the Siegel center, the dorms, Campbell library, Monroe Park, Bird Park, May mount Park, and much more. Richmond is a very athletic city with nature and city mixed together.

I don't live downtown, so I hang out with people mainly not from VCU. If you live down there, though, and on a popular street , then it's easier to party. The cops are pretty laid back too. I've heard the frat parties suck though, and Greek life isn't that big (THANK GOD)

I joined a sorority at VCU, but decided not to pledge. The greek system isnt very popular at VCU, but people do know the top ones on campus. I am not a big partier, so I dunno about parties personally but I heard there arent very many and they arent good from others.

The social life at VCU is so amazingly broad that I don't even know where to begin. I don't even know all the different groups at VCU. I party on the weekends. During the week days i spend my afternoons at the library and I'm part of an organization. A fun and educational activity to do on campus is people watch. At the compass point, my friends and I like to people watch.

I plan to always let people hang out in my suite, and to spend a lot of time with those who live with me and in GRC.

There is a pavilion outside of the student commons that houses concerts and other shows, and outside of campus, there are theaters, churches, restaurants, and places to hang out.
