Our school is one of the only schools with the Real Estate development degree.

My school and my city has culture and an identity. Its real life in the city, not like JMU where all the kids party and ruin the town. In JMU, the students rule the town. At VCU, the city rules over the students. This really helps to acheive independence and maturity.

The fact that VCU is downtown really was not my favorite thing about it when I moved here, but the city has grown on me in a way I thought it wouldn't. There is something for every taste here- fine dining (and diners), history (and clubs), theatre (and movies), and a genuinely kind population. Richmond is the biggest small town I think I've ever seen, and as VCU expands I'm sure it will only get better.
Amy
The highly educated faculty who makes progress in research each year.

First of all, I LOVE bragging about VCU. I've actually convinced two friends to transfer here! I love to brag about the diverse group of people. When you simply look around this campus, you can't help but learn about other cultures. VCU is rich with culture and honestly, it's made me a more accepting person. I've made friends with different minorities and people from different economic backgrounds. I've learned so much about acceptance because of the people I have met. So, when I talk about VCU, this is what I love to brag about.

My school is the largest university in Virginia. I would argue that we are the most diverse as well. Being in Richmond affords students the opportunity to be apart of the REAL world. Students here do not live in a bubble. VCU is not the only life in Richmond. There is a thriving art scene and a number of Fortune 500 companies to participate in internship programs. My professors are still participating in the fields they teach. Many of my professors work at Public Relations agancies in Richmond. They give advice that is pertinent and applicable to my future career.

I brag most about how there is do much to do at VCU. Being downtown in a city means that everything is only a bus ride away: restaurants, clubs, sports, shops, festivals, ect.
