I feel the worst thing about our school is the lack of a coehsive school pride, although it exists I feel the school could do a better job enhancing school pride. I feel that more on campus housing and traditions would really brighten out school pride. Although I have to acknowledge that our new president is addressing these issues and things are being done, I just wish that when I started my education here that it was more school spirited.

There is a serious lack of school spirit. No football team. The alumni need to make their prescence known on campus.

The classes are too big, theres no place to have any form of real communication between the students and the professor. Anyone who isnt used to large classroom settings should not attend this university.

The worst thing I have noticed about Virginia Commonwealth University is the fact that the line for the Financial Aid office is super long and takes hours to go through; it makes the DMV look like heaven.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the small freshman dorms . Other than that i absolutlely love my school .

The professor's are not that caring about you, so you are basically on your own when it comes to learning the material. You can try to talk to them about grades and other things going on that may be affecting your life, but they aren't lenient towards you at all. They can care less about your grades and they have the "if the students fail, more money for me because they are going to have to take my class over again" attitude.

The worst thing about my school would be the commute. I decided to leave off campus which set me at a disadvantage because VCU is an amazing campus and great school. I wish I would have dormed so I can have the full experience and opportunity of using all that VCU has to offer. Being that the commute is my choice for this topic, that says a lot about how I view VCU because it is the only thing I can classify as the "worst thing".

My school has some issues with the customer service provided from financial aid, accounting, housing, etc. There are many times when it is extremely difficult to get in contact with someone to get a problem resolved. It is so frustrating that at times a parent has to get involved, even though the students are supposed to be adults and handle situations on our own, at times, we are forced to call on mom and dad.

The worst thing about my school, only being there for one semester, after being transferred from J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, have to be the transferring of credits. My plan was two years at a community college then transfer to a four-year institution, and VCU was my choice. Apparently, transferring my credits wasn't as advertised. It took a lot of work to get my credits to count towards my major at VCU: requiring me to go to the office a few times, printing out new paperwork, and requesting another transcript because they probably lost it the first time.

The worst thing about my school is that there is nothing not to love, and that can be a great disadvantage. This is that the school administrators will go on with the idea that the school is doing great and that there is nothing to change, whereas other schools are making changes that would allow there campuses to expand and cater well for their students.
