I would say the sense of independency because VCU is a school that can help you transition from home life to a more independent life as far as your social and academic life.

The diversity of all the students. You will make friends from all the different majors, ethnicities, and religions. It is a great way to broaden horizons. You learn so much from them and it is truly a rewarding experience.

VCU aside from it being the largest univiersity in Virginia which may seem a bit over powering, I beleive that is what makes it such a wonderful place for a student to thrive in. The students not only learn from there professors, but are capable of learning from there peers as well. The emense amount of diversity helps students use there potential by interacting with things, people, places that they never have before, thus using a part of themselves that they may not have known was there, after all college is about finding out who you are.

The best thing about the VCU School of Social Work is everything. The staff members and students are personal, and many come from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. Most importantly, we all share a strong desire to implement social justice, wherever we can and whenever we can. Its so wonderful to be around a whole school of people who want to make the world a better place and see the potential in those that society oppress. I love everything the Social Work program at VCU has to offer and together as a group we're doing great things.

I like VCU because of the large amount of diversity that can be found there. Not only do the people differ racially and socio-economically, but the school's areas of study differ s radically. It has one of the best medical programs in the country as well as one of the best art program in the country. The major disciplines are varying.
