Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

There are plenty of things to brag about. The first being we have some great therapists/counselors that are free to use if you're a student here. We have a wonderful library, and I really feel like I'm getting an education here. The food isn't too bad, but we also have a good party scene and as a whole we're progressive and tolerant.

I definitely brag about the diversity of the polulation and the environment the Richmond community has to offer. It is a city yet a close-knit community with people from all walks of life with all sorts of opportinuties for everyone.

I am very proud of how diligent my professors are. I have never had a teacher at this school that was not 110{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} dedicated to my success. My teachers do an excellent job of giving me individual style attention despite the class sizes. I never feel like I am paying VCU too much money for this reason.

If you want to experience a campus-life that is diverse and filled with the activity of a big city, then VCU is the place for you. Richmond itself is a melting pot of different cultures, beliefs, personalities and ideas, and VCU sits right in the heart and hub of it all!

When I discus with others why I enjoy going to Virginia commonwealth university, a few topics come to mind. I always tell people how proud I am at how diverse the community is. So many different types of people from different walks of life; it’s pretty amazing how many different backgrounds people have, and I enjoy getting to know as many people as I possibly can. I also talk about how every day always has something in store for me. I have never had a dull moment living in Richmond and attending the university.

The one thing I always brag about when telling my friends about my school is the opportunities I've been given at the School of World Studies for outside internships and my own individual research studies. The faculty has been absolutely amazing working with me to get my name out there and recognized by professionals in my field. I cannot stress enough how amazing it feels to be mentored by professors who truly care about where you go in life and want so badly to see you succeed.

I always start with the setting, since I'm the one that wandered out of state, describing the perks of being on-campus and mid-city simultaneously. Then I get philosophical on them and gush about the welcoming diversity VCU exudes. Being able to mix yourself in with hundreds of different cultures, beliefs, ideals and lifestyles, in a setting that encourages the differences, is a critical part of establishing your own values.

At VCU, there's never a dull moment. There's always something for everyone to do in their spare time.

The campus life, how much there is to do on campus. The staff at VCU are all very supportive and helpful. VCU goes above and beyond for their students.

I am not one for bragging, but when it comes to who I would talk about the most I would have to say it used to be my friend Sean. He helped me through a lot my freshmen year.
