If you consider youself a "country" guy or girl, I would not recommend going to VCU. VCU is located is the middle of Richmond so it is very city-oriented. I consider myself a "city" girl, but I do enjoy outdoors as well. Attending VCU plays to my advantage in this aspect in that there is the James River as well as other outdoor areas such as Belle Isle and many parks that you can spend your afternoon in.

A person who is close-minded and doesn't want to meet all types of people in different social classes, or people of artistic and unique backgrounds.

I would not reccomend someone to this school if they are close minded and not willing to see other peoples' views. Someone who does not like a huge population of students.
Jacqueline
Some that is looking for a very proper buisness type school or for a party school this is not the school for you. VCU is a very inclusive type school and is moderatly in the middle.
Nicholas
Anyone who is focused on their future and individual success. The potential VCU student has to understand one thing above all others: It's all on me. There are many advisors and professors to help a student along the academic path, but the sucess or failure of the student is completely up to them. Laziness is the most common obstacle. This is not a school that will prove the party-goer to be successful. If one has drive and motivation, a school like VCU will only enhance those qualities.

If someone does not think that they would fit in at an urban campus should probably not attend. Still, VCU is pretty accommodating. There is a very diverse population of students here, and one would be surprised to see how easily he or she can adjust to this school. If someone were thinking of pursuing a subject in the humanities like English, the Classics, History, etc., VCU would probably not be the best choice. It has great arts programs, though, and pretty good programs for practical fields such as those in business, engineering, and the sciences.

A hard worker who wants to learn more than what they came to school for.
James
The kind of person who thinks they can just show up to class on test day.
Rachael
People who don't wish to work should not go to this school, too many people work hard to get into MCV's medical school to have slackers who just decide to do any major. People who only wish to fail most of their classes or decide not to go to most of their classes will in turn be dropped from their class and ultimately fail out of college.

Anyone can fit in at VCU
