Being in a sorority has never been a desire of mine, so Greek life doesn’t play much of a role in my social scene.

A Good Solid Meal

B

Campus dining is a good, basic setup. Shafer is open often, though it does close far too early on Fridays (9 p.m.), and the Commons has, in my opinion, some fairly good options. Service is usually satisfactory and the food is as well, with healthy options readily available. But that is just it: it is basic. Not too bad, but it's nothing special, either.

I met some of my best friends in the dorms. Even though there’s always going to be drama, I think VCU was a great choice for me.

I’m happy with the choice I made going to VCU. I’m sure I would have been happy at other places, too, but I’ve made some great friends here.

I love this school! It’s close enough to home that I can go back when I need it but far enough to give me my own space. It’s one of eight schools that’s accredited in my major and one of two that are accredited in both graduate and undergraduate forensic science.

It has been fun and interesting here. I’m learning a lot in my classes, and I enjoy the freedom that the city has given me. There is always something to do, and it’s never silent on campus.

For the most part, I like it here. I came with friends from my high school, which was nice, but it made it harder to make new friends because it didn’t force me to seek people for socialization.

Roommates can suck. Try to maintain some sort of relationship with them even if you don’t like them. If you don’t get along, it can be hell.

I definitely like being at VCU. The only thing I dislike is the crime rate and everyone else (at other colleges) thinking that VCU is a terrible school.

I love being at VCU because of the city life. The city as a whole is just crazy, and I like that. I wouldn’t change anything about the school.
