Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

I consider the atmosphere the best thing about my school. There is a variety of all cultures and people in my school from different walks of life. This allows for such a diversity in every field, and a wide group of people to which you can befriend and associate with through your college career.

The best thing about VCU is its diverse nature. There is something for everybody to do both academically and extracurricularly.

VCU is located in the middle of the city, and this is one of the coolest things about it. Usually at other colleges you would be surrounded with just college and the people that attend that college with you. At VCU you are already put out in the real world in a way (still with your campus around you). It's a very unique and awesome experience.

The best thing about VCU is that it is Richmond City. The students have brought life into the city in the recent years when the city wasn't doing very well. Now, bikes and pedestrians are practically everywhere. Seeing all of the young faces walking around this old city have rejuvenated it.

VCU offers a wide-range of opportunties for students to engage in and experience. The Monroe Park campus, itself thrives in individuality and diversity making it the best university.

I would have to say the level of support that is offered to the students here. Coming into college, I had many worries such as grades and keeping up in my classes. However, here at VCU there is a department dedicated to all students. The departments focus is mainly on making sure the freshmen are able to do well and succeed in their first year. The upperclassmen also gets this treatment, but the freshmen are new to the campus and need time to adjust to a new setting. The support system is so strong here.

The best thing about my school is how different and accepting everyone is. The fact that it is in a city gives the campus a different feel.You feel like you have freedom, like you are accepted, and like you are being given a one-of-a-kind experience.

VCU is one of the most diverse and open-minded schools in the conservative state of Virginia, and most students of minority groups find so many more oppurtunities not afforded to them at other areas of the state.

The best thing about my school, hands down, is the atmosphere. We're one of the top art schools in the state so freshmen nights were spent on patios with people playing music on every block and sketching their surroundings. When basketball season starts, the school spirit is astronomical. Viewing parties and celebration in the streets after winning games are not uncommon. Go RAMS! I wouldn't go anywhere else in the world.
