From the outside VCU physically looks like a great school, the buildings are nice and well kept, but VCU is so integrated into the city sometimes its hard to tell but then they ensure there are visible signs of VCU's logo. The campus is huge and there is always a traffic of students walking around, or students on bikes, skate boards etc.

Richmond is a historical city so a lot of the building will have a historical outer appearance. Most of our advising offices are in renovated buildings from the 18th century. However, our dining halls and classrooms are very contemporary. VCU is located in the middle of the capital city of Virginia so it is a very urban campus. the entire campus will take about 25 minutes to walk from one side to the other. We have 3 campuses; one in Monroe Park, one Downtown (known as the Medical College of Virginia), and an art institution in Doha, Qatar.

Located within the city, the streets are filled with a very large and diverse group of both students and staff. Age and ethnicity are not the only factors that make this group diverse. Each individual is different in their concentration, study, and purpose in attending VCU, and with a school so large, it is easy to see the diversity at a glance. While it is overwhelming in number, the school is prepared to address all needs and encourages the students to take advantage of the resources provided.

It's too big for its own good, saddled with an explosively expanding student body, a city that relies on the students to keep the local economy afloat, and a state government that keeps cutting the budget; combine this with decades of fiscal mismanagement and you wind up with a school that can barely manage to educate the students it has, let alone the thousands more it admits every fall.
