What kind of person should attend Virginia Commonwealth University?

Shelby

You must be an urban-living type of person. This is such an urban school, and being in the city is a beautiful, fast-paced experience, but it isn't for everybody. There is always something going on and if you're shy and not very outspoken, you may miss out on a lot.

Shakola

People who are artistic and/or open-minded. We're very diverse and all types of people fit in perfectly here.

Virginia Commonwealth University is a very diverse school, thus opening up it's doors to many different students. Our art program brings forth a uniqe group of students who are interested in the arts. Also the dentist and pre-nursing major introduces students who are interested in biology. I would say VCU accomodates to many different sudent's interests, so every student will find a place at this university.

A potential student at VCU should know right up front that the environment is very diverse. This means that all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds (both ethnic and financial), from all sorts of countries, with all sorts of beliefs, go here. There are a lot of great oppurtunities to learn about yourself and about others at VCU.

The type of person that should attend this university is an individual who has the ambition to develop. Through life we are all presented with opportunity and I do believe that we all have potential but i feel tthat the individuals who truly deserve to be at this university are those who are willing and dedicated to prepare for successfull futures. Afterall it is to my greatest ideology that preparation with opportunity defines success.

I think that VCU can be for anybody because they have a wide variety of major programs and lots of extra curricular organizations actually run by students. There's also a very diverse student body at VCU. I see different ethnicites everyday and most people are friendly, so I would say that it's a well rounded environment for anybody.

Lorin

In all honesty, I have found through my experiences at VCU that nearly everyone is compatible for this university. No matter who you are or where you come from, there is a home here for you. Even the people who did not originally want to attend VCU (some people from my hometown, for instance) fell in love with the people and the environment to the point where they do not want to leave just like me. I have always encouraged high school teenagers to attend VCU because I guarantee that they will fall in love with it.

Ashley

Anyone who loves the city. There is always something to do and the school puts on events nonstop. VCU is also a great school for anyone who is artistically talented.

Justyne

VCU is an incredibly diverse school. The university specializes in several different areas, and has a strong support system for each major. As a transfer student I feel comfortable asking for guidance, and theres an organization for every student to become active in and enjoy.
