The fact that it is located within a city gives students a more broad experience. They experience different cultures and a taste of what real life is outside of the college, rather than being isolated to a college in the middle of nowhere. This makes it easier for students to adjust to life after graduation. Also, the school encourages people to explore activities in other majors so that the students have a larger perspective on what they are studying. Most professors encourage the students to use these other viewpoints to enrich their work in the major they have chosen.

VCU is such a great school. Not only is it the most populated school in Virginia it is also one of the most liberal and diverse. There are so many things to do around campus. There are concerts, dances, movies, and guest speakers almost every weekend. The people here are really friendly and helpful. At VCU no one judges anyone. A person could walk around wearing a suit of armor and no one would look at them funny. On the contrary people would most likely go up to the person and think it is a protest thing.
