Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

Someone who loves diversity and being the city. Someone who loves the arts and trying new things but isn't too into sports.

VCU really has something for everybody. I will say that if you are looking for an easy time parking, football, or an overwhelming fraternity scene, Richmond is not for you. Also, if you are looking for an area where you can escape any sign of your college by getting off of the designated "campus" area, don't come to VCU.

The type of person who should not attend this school is the type of person that embodies a couple characteristics. A person who does not like a large campus, a person who does not like urban campus or a person who feels intimidated by large class rooms. However, I think anyone who puts the work in could succeed going to Virginia Commenwealth University.

Anyone not willing to have an open mind about the world around him or her should not attend this school. VCU will open your eyes to a whole new world of reality that you will not experience in any other place. The diversity among its student population is beautifuly extreme. VCU offers so many different opportunities for social involvement and recreation to its students. If someone were to attend this school with a permenantly closed mind, he or she would be wasting his or her money on amenities and oppotrunities he or she won't fully take advandage of.

I feel like Virginia Commonwealth University's very best quality is its cultural diversity. Students from all different cultures and backgrounds attend this school which creates an environment in which students are constantly teaching others new things. I feel that someone who isn't open to new ideas or is very close minded would not like attending this school because the students are all so proud of who they are and are not afraid to be themselves.

A person who is afraid to step out of their comfort zone, who is not ok with change and who feels the need to comform to the norms.

A very open person. Open to many different people and many diverse ideas.

There is a niche for everyone at this university. It is such a large school with so many diverse programs and people, there isn't a single kind of person who shouldn't come for social reasons. Academically, students need to be self-motivated to achieve at this school, so any person who needs a large amount of guidance shouldn't attend.

I believe that VCU has something for everyone. In most cases an education is what you make of it. However, at VCU it seems as though it would be just as hard to fail as to achieve. It is a pleasant and fairly accepting school.

Someone like me who is confused with them selves should not go here from my experience. If they try to get through this school they'll leave crying. If that future student is solid in what they want to focus on then yes go here. But If you can't tell what you want to do, figure it out at a smaller and cheaper college first.

Someone who is outgoing and desiring a diverse large school urban type enviornment. It has a very laid back enviornment with all kinds of people. There is no reason for someone to be left out academically, socially and professionally. It has all the ingredients necessary for one to be successful and socially acceptable.

Those that are not tolerant and unable to adapt.

conservative, close-minded, stuck up, preppy, straight-laced

People who are attracted to a medium sized southern city that packs tons of world history, is only one hour away from the center of our nation's political home, and who are not afraid to be confronted with people from all walks of life.

Lazy people.
