In recent years our basketball team has catapulted us into notoriety. Before that we were growing as a well-respected university with a flair for the arts. Our arts programs are top of the line and very well known. Most of all, VCU is known for it's long-standing location in the heart of Richmond, VA and its notoriety as a sister campus of one of the leading medical colleges in the country, MCV.
Brianna
My school is best known for Snead Business Hall, and Havoc-men's basketball.
Stephanie
VCU is best known for its arts program and baskeball.
Kaitlyn
My school is best known for their medical and art program.Virginia Commonwealth University is rising in their medical advances because they have a hospital attached to the school. VCU is one of the four colleges in Virginia that have a Pharmacy graduate program which I plan to attend.
Jazmin
VCU is best known for their medical programs. Since Virginia Commonwealth University and the Medical College of Virginia are uniformly operated it allows VCU students to obtain the best medical education there is. I personally know three people that have graduated from the Medical College of Virginia and all there are successful orthodontists. I believe that MCV at VCU is one of the most prestegious medical schools in the state of Virginia and that a plethora of people know VCU for that medical aspect.
Britney
It's best known for being a historically black college.
Zhina
Art, pre-health, and engineering
Jacqueline
My school is best known for its great academic achievements and its school spirit.
Christina
VCU is the best at making their school a grade A school. We have many top programs at this school like; medicine, art, business and engineering. (All of the programs are great though.) Also they make the school beautiful so it is a very fitting campus for their top students. They have been resently doing a lot of construction and it is surprising to see how nice the school looks in the middle of Richmond city.
Morgan
VCU is widely known for its' diversity. There are many students from all kinds of different backgrounds all coming together on a campus that is completely intertwined with the city of Richmond itself. There is something for everyone in this convinient location. There is all the school has to offer as well as what the city itself has to offer.
Alex
Our basketball team, I think is what we're best known for. Also our undefeated football team ( which is an inside joke for VCU students)
Kristen
VCU is probably best known for it's hospital, the Medical College of Virginia, MCV campus, and it's nursing, dental, medical, and pharmacy programs. That is one thing that drew me to the school. I want to go to the VCU School of Pharmacy because it is one of the few Virginia pharmacy schools that is accredited by the ACPE. And it's also a great university with lots of diversity and great basketball!
Dakota
VCU has an amazing arts program and we are ranked number one for sculpting in the entire nation. We also have a great basketball team and an amazing new arena to watch them compete in. We are known for being centrally located in the heart of Richmond right in the middle of everything. VCU is comprised of very talented and different individuals and is first and foremost diverse. Our school truly has a little bit of something for everyone and plenty of school spirit!

Basketball games, Art School, and being a huge part of Richmond City.

You can look at your screwed-up 2011 March Madness bracket to see what VCU is best known for: beating the odds and making the NCAA Final Four in 2011. We "weren't supposed to win" about five or six times. The VCU student section, the Rowdy Rams, made another distinguished impression on the media by parading down Broad Street (the main street in Richmond, where VCU is located), causing traffic jams, a student riot, and a good time for anyone who was down to celebrate VCU's huge accompishment.

VCU is most known for it's high level of diversity. At our school we pride ourselves on this and believe it is an important part of our institution.
Sejal
My school is best known for MCV and our VCU basketball team.
Holly
Virginia Commonwealth University is rich in celebrating history, traditions, as well as school spirit, but remains best known for its’ diversity in both educational programs and student body!
Daniel
I think VCU is best known academically for its strong Arts and Medical programs, but as a university setting it is known best for its great amount of diversity in its student population and as being very strongly integrated into the city of Richmond.
