Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Because VCU has centered its main campus location around Monroe Park, students are able to walk from dorms to classes and other places around the city. Driving your car downtown to go to an internship or job can be an expensive pain for students. Parking is about $6 a day. VCU does offer a free GRTC Campus Connector bus service offering 11 stops to students who may live downtown or need to attend the Medical Campus for classes and lectures. You only need to show your VCU ID for the free ride. The buses pick up from locations about every 10 minutes. It takes about 15 minutes to get from the main VCU campus to the Medical College. It is the easiest and most hassle-free way to travel back and forth.
 

If you need to go to a far-away destination, Richmond International Airport is only 11 miles away from campus and offers flights comparable to the other major airports in the state. It’s also common for students that don’t have cars to take Greyhound or Amtrak to get wherever they may be going. There are so many different options for students to get out of town, and if you’re planning a trip, you can compare prices to get the best deal.

Escort Service

VCU offers a great system called the Escort Service which will pick you up anywhere on campus and take you to where you want to go on campus, at almost all hours of the day and night. Its really helpful if you have night classes across campus or just don't feel comfortable walking at night.

Transit

I guess the transportation at this school is pretty good for being in the city cause they work with the city bus called GRTC. As long as you make a bus pass and show your student ID you get on the bus for free. Pretty awesome, cause each trip costs $1.50
