Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

What kind of person should attend Virginia Commonwealth University?

Jennifer

An edgy, independent person with an open mind. If you love different kinds and colors of people, love being in the city, and love working hard, than this school is for you.

Elizabeth

Persons attending VCU should be self sufficient, as you are stuck in the middle of the city from the start. A conventional campus does not exist here. This student should have an open mind to diversity, culture, sexual orientation, and new ideas. This student should not only be focused but should be highly creative. Students here tend to excel if they are persistent in their pursuits as well as self sufficient.

Desiree

Students attending VCU should be flexible, creative and tolerant of multiple kinds of people. Richmond is, in a word, "weird", but in the best way possible. If you love art, culture, and experiencing new things, this is the place for you. VCU is also unique in the sense that it encourages and rewards innovative students with funds to do what they love if they can propose an idea or project eloquently and succesfully.

Lauren

People that attend VCU are culturally diverse and love to express themselves, so someone that should go there should have those same interests. They should be open to people of all kinds of ethnic backgrounds and should be able to break barriers between culture and religion so that everyone can come together.

Delphine

Everyone should be allowed to attend this school. Virginia Common Wealth University is a state school and it shouldn't be very difficult to get into the school. VCU caters to potential college undergraduates and everyone who dreams of going to college should be allowed to. That doesn't mean that they will succeed though, VCU should still expect academic success from its students. Dreams only happen when you are sleeping, it takes hard work and ability to make your dream into a reality.

Philip

I feel that those who should attend Virginia Commonwealth University are those who are most suitable living in the city and can affiliate with their surroundings easily, but in a way that they know how to get from place to place, in case something is needed, and know their resources around campus. I also feel as if those who attend, are the ones who have committments to leadership and can bring everyone together as a team and turn them in to a family.

Alex

the people that shoud attend VCU should be anything but discriminate. VCU is probably one of the most diverse places i have ever lived and I love it

Georgia

People who are open to new, different and quirky experiences, who understand the importance of learning but don't underestimate the value of injecting fun and personality into the classroom, are a really good fit for this school. There's always something to do and always something to see and those who don't take advantage of these opportunities will miss out on what it means to be a part of the diversity of VCU.
