    VCU is an incredible experience. It's not one of those colleges that has a typical 'campus area' where students live, eat, and go to school. VCU's campus is dispersed throughout Richmond. Even just walking to class is an experience every day. Because it's a city, you don't really need a car. Most everything you need is within walking distance.
