I love that there is always something to do at our school, whether it be attending basketball games, plays, concerts, or intercultural festivals. VCU students take pride in themselves and use their strengths to better the community and themselves.

Stefanie

The fact that it is located within a city gives students a more broad experience. They experience different cultures and a taste of what real life is outside of the college, rather than being isolated to a college in the middle of nowhere. This makes it easier for students to adjust to life after graduation. Also, the school encourages people to explore activities in other majors so that the students have a larger perspective on what they are studying. Most professors encourage the students to use these other viewpoints to enrich their work in the major they have chosen.

The best thing about my school would be the students and faculty. Everyone here is so open-minded , and being this is a very liberal school it's nice to know that every person of every type is accepted. The facutly is so enthusiastic about what they teach, and this enthusiasm spreads to us. I have felt so welcomed here and made so many incredible friends that I know I will remember forever.

Laura

VCU is the closest college to home that provides me with the opportunity to graduate in Public Relations and still gives me the freedom to study as I need to. It has a good sized campus that enables me to make friends when I want, but also lets me blend into a crowd when I need space. Overall, this is a great campus with a lot of possibilities for my future.
