    VCU is a special place because it's not a typical, quad-having campus -- you'll learn about life in a real way that will prepare you for the future as a non-student. Richmond isn't a college town; it's a vibrant city with endless amounts of fun and opportunity. You'll get a top-notch university education and life in one of the most exciting up-and-coming cities.

    Virginia Commonwealth University is a very professional University. The professors and the AI's are well educated and they put their time to the students. The classes and building are very close to each other, which makes it easy to go between classes.

    The campus is nice and open, but I have a problem with all of the smokers. The people are mostly friendly and helpful. I haven't had a bad professor yet, so that's good.
