My school most likely offers only one professor for every science classes and i didn't like it because it conflicts with my other classes.
Most of my financial aid counselors were not helpful at all. They don't care if the students succeed or not. for instance, i came from a poor family and they gave me less money for my financial aid and i had to take loans in order to stay in the school.

The food prices at the cafes are ridiculous! $10 for a sandwhich, bag of chips, and a drink. When I'm stuck on campus from 9am - 7pm I have no choice but to eat there. It can get very financially demanding!

I don't have anything bad to say about VCU, i believe that it is a very good school to attend to have the experience of the real world before you are thrown out into it. VCU has a variaty of people that attend as well as the real world. VCU is a great place to attend and get the expierences needed to survive in the real world. Once you are in the real world there isn't many people to help you along, you have to learn and do by yourself. You also have to deal with multiple people.

There is an extreme lack of organization within the school system in relation to the academic advisors, the financial aid office, and the registrar. Things are always lost and misplaced, and more than a few times I have had the worst run around trying to get them all straight. It all just adds to the stress of my heavy workload!

Because it is located within a city, students have to be extremely cautious at night.

The neighboors that live in near by and the fact that there is always that scary happening....like sometimes that happend...getting mugged or killed at night

The worst thing about my school is that we have such a cultural school, yet some of the cultures only stick to themselves or do not often socialize with other nationalities outside of the classroom. But our school helps us with this, by having our annual International Block party, with food, cultural dances and values.

The fact that it is placed in the center of Richmond. It is the poster child for an urban college. Without a distinct campus it is easy to mix the city with the school. While that provides some benefits, it causes many problems. Without that singular location that you can call "your school" you find yourself detact from it.

There is not much that?s worst in my university. But if i had to choose one, i would say the money. Everything on campus, students have to pay. Parking, printing, dorm, food, fax, etc. even the smallest things VCU charges you for everything. Even professors are charged to park. No discount, no exceptions. I believe that education should be something that could be given a chance for. Some students might not be able to pay for all these and still attend college. So I think VCU's weakest point is money.

Every pro has it's con's. VCU may be largest university in Virginia but that may not make it the safest. The fact that we are located in the city is almost an oxymoron, you wouldnt have VCU without the city, but without the city you wouldnt have as much crime. Ever since i have been at VCU I have never been harmed but I have herd about several crimes. I guess the one thing to remember is there is crime everywhere
