Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about Virginia Commonwealth University?

Meagan

That it has high school spirit and the Basketball team. And the overall atmosphere of the campus.

Ginger

I love the environment. I wasn't used to an urban environment but now when I go away for a weekend, I miss the city life. Also, the people that you meet at VCU are lifelong friends.

lilly

great partys, lots of chill people

Dhruvkumar

I can see the diversity on campus which I have never seen before which is very good thing. I also tell them about how people are friendly and helping nature. I am going to describe a little course curriculum which they are interested in.

Luke

I brag about being far enough away from home, but not too far that I can't ever see my family, and I especially brag about living in a small but historically and culturally rich city as opposed to a suburb. Most of my friends go to community college or are at home with their parents still, so the fact that I even go to college gives me something to brag about. I have to say that I brag about the location and not the school, although students in the art program would about both.

Margaret

I don't really brag about anything. I mostly have to defend my school when I tell people I attend VCU. Everyone always says "Oh, don't get shot!" This annoys me to no end, so I always have to defend VCU by saying how diverse the population is, how you get the best of both worlds with the city and the James River, and how there is such an amazing music scene around the Richmond area.

Justin

I brag about how diverse the campus is. Also, there is always something to do in the surrounding city of Richmond, VA.

Rachelle

The big and diverse campus.

Nicky

How great the campus is!

Katie

That VCU's graduate advertising program [VCUbrandcenter] is number one in the country.
