When I think of VCU, I always think of diversity. You have to be accepting of diversity in order to attend VCU. If you are even close to being a 100{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} percent conservative, or a close minded person then you will probably not enjoy VCU as much as someone who is more open-minded and more liberal. VCU is not a wild school, but it is not up tight.

VCU is a very different school. The students that make up the campus at Virginia Commonwealth are diverse and open-minded. The ideal VCU student is unique, and open to new things. Also, the ideal student is responsible and independent. VCU is perfect for meeting new people and growing to find out who you are and what you want. VCU isn't for cookie-cutter students. We're all incredibly diverse and unique.

An open-minded person would definitely enjoy VCU, there is a broad range of people and personality types. Also, someone looking to expand their perspective of the world you benefit from going here.

Nicole

Any kind of person should attend this school because it is a university in which anyone could fit in. A person attending this school should be open to diversity of cultures and like the urban school environment. Even if there are aspects of this university that at first do not seem appealing VCU has a way of growing on students and becoming an amazing school.

Micheline

I think a very outgoing, social, well-balance individual would like attending VCU. The city of Richmond, where the university is located, is a very lively and loud place. The students of VCU put much emphasis on parties, night-life, and social gatherings. I think someone who enjoys keeping to themselves, or just prefers just being in the company of friends as apposed to immense parties, would feel like a bit of an outcaste, as I do.

Kala

The type of person that should attend this school are students that are dedicated and serious about their work and future. Students should also be active and willing to try new things. Here is the city life and there are plenty of things to do outside and in school. There is a diverse student population at this university and easy to make friends so the person should be open to all other ideas and actions. I would say a mixture of a dedicated person and someone looking for new things to explore they would be ther perfect candidate.

Gina

The type of person that should attend VCU are the intelligents or the artists, the singers or the athletes, the dorks or the cool kids; basically any and everyone. VCU is diverse & offers just about everything you could possibly need for just about anyone; offering students the opportunity to pursue academics in all areas from the school for arts, for business, for nursing, for engineering, and thats just to name a few. Located downtown, VCU is a great place because you can live that city life or travel fifteen minutes to West End & feel like you're at home.
