Virginia Commonwealth University

There are plently of other places much better than VCU. If you are in state, an art student and do not care about acedemics, VCU will be satisfatory. However, if you are planing to go into any other major, stop looking at VCU.

Yet, if you are a grad student, VCU has some great programs. Also note, MCV is not VCU do not let them fool you into thinking they work together in giving you an education. They do not. VCU students think that because MCV is close by they are getting that education. MCV does not leak its acedamia into VCU. Ever.

Over all, if you are a Virginia resedent and an art student. VCU may be right. Or, if you are a grad student.If you are an undergrad who does not plan to major in art or if you are out of state, you will not enjoy this insitution.

FOR OUT OF STATE PEOPLE OR PEOPLE NOT FROM AROUND RICHMOND: In every state, be it a university or high school, there will nine times out of ten be a negative quality in attitude. This is simply because if you aren't from or around the Richmond area (or have similarities to to it), you won't get accustomed to the social life very quickly. Same thing with other states. I'm from VA, and I went to a field trip to NYU, where the people were also arrogant, BUT in a different way. They were independant, and thought they were "art-savy" and "deep" intellectually when they were merely stuck up pricks on pedistals.You might think the same way about VA, but you have to be born here because if someone from here visited your state and went to school there for a while, they would probably feel the exact same way that you do. You have to be accustomed to the lifestyle, and you might think Virginia is the most horrible place on earth but I gurantee people feel the exact same way about your area.
