Virginia Commonwealth University Top Questions

Anyone xenophobic, racist, homophobic, lazy or intolerant of progressive ideals. We are tolerant at this school.

Students who shouldn't attend VCU are those who need a bit more direction. Students should not attend VCU if they are highly unreliable because there are many distractions. If one doesn't enjoy variety then this university probably isn't the right place for them. VCU is not for weak minded individuals or those who tend to follow the crowd.

Students who prefer a calm and "private school" type environment probably would not enjoy VCU's rambunctious spirit. VCU is a place for all people, but not those who don't enjoy thinking creatively.

Someone who thinks that the classes are easy and not a lot of work is needed to pass and succeed in school.

Although VCU is great, it's definitely not for the faint of heart; especially for art majors. AFO is quite difficult. This school is not recommended for those who want to only put in half the effort into their projects thinking they will get by. They won't. This school forces you to push yourself, requiring you to stay up all night to work on a project if needed. You must have ambition to make it through, not luck.

If you are a student that does not like big campus's in an urban setting, VCU probably isn't the school for you. VCU is an open campus and very spread out, so if you're looking for something sheltered away from the general public then VCU is not ideal. VCU is very diverse, so if you are not interested in meeting people from all over the world then VCU is not a good match. If you don't like huge classes (espcially for the lowerclassmen years) then VCU is not the school for you.

Those who may not want to attend Virginia Commonwealth University are those who are more of the quiet urban settings and are more comfortable with being in a large open campus without a whole lot of sourroundings. Those who are not really used to walking along the streets and through crowds but rather avoid as many people as possible and who are not really into hanging out with large groups or teams, also may not want to attend this school.

People who don't want to work hard for what they want, people who can't balance social life and academic life and people who are not accepting of all personal decisions made by people around them.

Viriginia Commonwealth University really is a school for just about everyone. The university prides itself on its diversity, from students to staff, and I would have to agree. Everyday when I walk around campus I see all different kinds of students. However, a person who is not dedicated to their studies is not one who should attend VCU. From art students to business student VCU requires extensive hours devoted to school work to ensure that all their students become great in their area of study. A student who is not willing and dedicated doesn't belong at Virginia Commonwealth University.

A person that is not open minded and tolerant of other cultures and ideas different from their own should not attend this school.

Since I've only just transfered to VCU after having completed my Associate's Degree in upstate NY, my impression of the school is limited to that which i've managed to ascertain in three weeks of classes. I really love VCU so far, but their huge number of students limits the speed that they're able to answer students' inquiries. If it's very important to you that your answers be provided instantaneously, VCU is probably not for you.

VCU is located in the heart of the city, those hoping for a small college town experience should look elsewhere. Also Greek Life does not have a huge presence on campus due to the fact that fraternity/sorority houses are not sanctioned by the university. Aside from that, however, I cannot think of any other reason why a specific type of student should not apply. The school is very diverse and welcoming to all types of students.

Some who doesn't like big classes, big buildings, and big groups of people.

The type of person that shouldn't attend this school is the type of person that does not want to grow. Personally I believe that the main reason for the college experience is for the individual to step outside of the comfort zone and to engage others, the environment, and most importantly the self through reflection. Virginia Commonwealth University is a school of diversity with a wide range melting pot and if an individual is not ready to embrace the variety of the world they are not ready to attend this university.

Closed-minded people. This school is very diverse! There are people from all different backgrounds and we are all about accpeting others.

Any student seeking diveristy, creativity and a wide range of opportunities in a prospective school.

Someone who doesnt like the downtown city atmosphere

ultra conservative, people who don't like the city.

The kind of people that should attend this University are the ones with Liberal points of views, who enbrace diversity, and would like an urban setting for their college campus.

If you are the type of person who does not like urban envirnments, then this school is not for you. There were a lot of students who left the dorms after the first semester because they wanted to be in a more rural place.
