"I went to a university with an urban, city setting. It was open and "hip." It was filled with lots of different types of people - religiously, culturally, politically, socio economically, ethnically, nationally, etc. The diversity was one of my favorite things about it, because I think it is crucial to be surrounded by people who are not like you. It's challenging and exciting to learn about others and forget about your own bubble in the world. It was also affordable for in-state tuition, which was the main deciding factor for me."

"I loved my time at VCU - attending was one of the best decisions I've made. With campus in the middle of the city, students have so many opportunities to get real world experience in the community. I don't think you get the same level of involvement on a private, gated campus."

"Earning a degree at Virginia Commonwealth University was a great move for me. During my college selection, it was my #1 school. The school is urban, diverse and is surrounded by the city. As a native of Washington, DC that was important for me to enjoy the feel of a city while earning my degree. I loved the diversity each student brought to the classroom. Ideas, mindsets and backgrounds were different which created more opportunity for me to learn about the world. VCU's journalism program is amazing. I received hands on skills shooting and editing video which prepared me for my first job at NBC 4 just a few weeks after graduating. I recommend that once graduating you stay connected with the Alumni Club for support no matter how far after Undergrad you graduate."
