The wors thing about Virginia Commonwealth University is the crime that occurs. Since my college is in Richmond, Virginia, crime occurs most oftenly. Even though VCU police offers various ways for students to be safe, it has always scared me to walk alone at night or to even consider taking night classes.

The worst thing about my school is the crime that has begun to occur recently, around and on the campus. This is a bad thing for the school because if the crime increases parents will be less likely to send their students to VCU in the future. Additionally, the goal of the univeristy to produce educated students will be affected because students being put in harms way may affect their performance academically.

VCU takes pride in being a school of "diversity" but when everyone there is described as "diverse", there is a lack of variation between students. Everyone there is trying to make a statement of their own individuality by living outside the boundaries of conformation; however, that is conforming in itself. Maybe I am closed minded, but if everyone does the same thing to stand out, then who shines the brightest? I would rather get noticed by my achievements rather then the amount of piercings found in my nose. This mindset seems to make me a minority at VCU.

I believe the price of the college and the price of living would be the worse thing about my school.

The worst thing would have to be the individual classes. There are some that have a occupancy of 400, while others have only 30; however, each professor has to tend to a large number of students no matter the size of their classes. In turn, it makes it difficult for the student to establish a helpful relationship with the professor. While there are other resources available for aid aside from direct contact with the professor, the student usually has to find these resources on their own.

How open the school is. There is no "campus atmosphere". I know it's in the city, so there are going to be homeelss people, but it's a little much. VCU should do more to limit where the homeless people are allowed. Seeing random people you know aren't college students sitting on the patio to the dorm is not welcoming at all.

The worst thing about VCU is the Shafer Dining Hall. The food doesn't taste good and makes you sick

We are in a city. There are homeless people who beg, and as I said in my last answer it seems that everybody smokes so if someone has asthma they might want to rethink.

The worst thing about VCU is some of the conditions the buildings are in. They are not at all means uninhabitable, but since they are older city buildings repurposed for educational functions, some classrooms are not able to deliver the best classroom experience for the students.
