Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

Since I've only just transfered to VCU after having completed my Associate's Degree in upstate NY, my impression of the school is limited to that which i've managed to ascertain in three weeks of classes. I really love VCU so far, but their huge number of students limits the speed that they're able to answer students' inquiries. If it's very important to you that your answers be provided instantaneously, VCU is probably not for you.

VCU is located in the heart of the city, those hoping for a small college town experience should look elsewhere. Also Greek Life does not have a huge presence on campus due to the fact that fraternity/sorority houses are not sanctioned by the university. Aside from that, however, I cannot think of any other reason why a specific type of student should not apply. The school is very diverse and welcoming to all types of students.

Some who doesn't like big classes, big buildings, and big groups of people.

The type of person that shouldn't attend this school is the type of person that does not want to grow. Personally I believe that the main reason for the college experience is for the individual to step outside of the comfort zone and to engage others, the environment, and most importantly the self through reflection. Virginia Commonwealth University is a school of diversity with a wide range melting pot and if an individual is not ready to embrace the variety of the world they are not ready to attend this university.

Closed-minded people. This school is very diverse! There are people from all different backgrounds and we are all about accpeting others.

Any student seeking diveristy, creativity and a wide range of opportunities in a prospective school.

Someone who doesnt like the downtown city atmosphere

ultra conservative, people who don't like the city.

The kind of people that should attend this University are the ones with Liberal points of views, who enbrace diversity, and would like an urban setting for their college campus.

If you are the type of person who does not like urban envirnments, then this school is not for you. There were a lot of students who left the dorms after the first semester because they wanted to be in a more rural place.
