There is no specific kind of person. Anyone looking for a great education at an affordable rate in a great campus community.

A student who is completely open minded to learn new things. They have to want to really learn more about there major and do outside work to really get where they want to be after graduation. Have a voice and make sure that it is heard, everyones opinion matters. If you are shy and don't like to interact with people it will be hard to go far at the Virginia Commonwealth University.

In my opinion, Virginia Commonwealth University is perfect for a student interested in pursuing a career in medicine or research. The School of Humanities and School of Engineering are excellent venues for learning science and engineering disciplines, and MCV is just one GRTC busstop away from volunteering to gain valuable medical experience. Also, the BioTech park has a full range of research opportunities for those are more research oriented. Also, VCU has a highly reknowned School of Arts. Although admission is difficult, a four year degree from VCU School of Art will surely lead to the student to success.
