Virginia Commonwealth University

Probably the worst business school in the state. Been enrolled here for a year and half in the business program. Impossible to even enroll for the courses you need. One example is the business foundations pre requisite. Every student is required to take a course called Business Foundations. However, the university only teaches ONE of these classes per semester with space for 150 students. So you literally can't graduate until you take this course and they don't make it available for even 50% of the business school populations. Meanwhile, they have (not an exageration) 23 classes of the Speaking Presentations classes. Those courses all only have 6-8 students enrolled in them each, yet there are 23 courses available. I wish I had never enrolled at VCU Business so I am writing this to warn others. You literally just won't be able to graduate on time because they don't have the class space and yet they still take your $28,000 a year. Last point to bring up is the advisors in the Business School at VCU, probably the worst in the country. Good luck getting one to so much as return an email let alone ever see them. If I had a time machine I would go and enroll at literally any other University but now I'm stuck at VCU because i'm invested in it and it's too late for me to switch because guess what, NOTHING in the business foundations program transfers over elsewhere. You don't even get an associates through the program so you're stuck riding four years with VCU or loosing your money and time trying to switch to anywhere else.

So...I have only been at vcu for about ONE semester and it is the worst decision I have ever made. Okay, so I'm gonna go down the list of cons first then move on to the pros. VCU student body is super arrogant and stupid, I wrote the word "ingenious" on the board and this girl gave me a look and said what does that mean -_- and no she was not foreign. This is also the most White school you will ever go to, even though there is a lot of diversity all the students act so white, its SO annoying! All the kids don't genuinely try to get to know you, they don't care about different personalities or respect and they try to brainwash you into thinking that the way that they all think is the only way to think...meaning all the kids act the SAME so if your different you will be looked at like your a chicken with your head cut off.There is also a strong sense of racial privilege around here, the white adults and kids think they are the sh*t when they are just dumb idiots. The professors try to promote racial sensitivity, but they themselves subtly say and do things that suggest otherwise.They are breeding these white kids to think as them selves as slightly superior to other races.

Moving into moralistic and ethical mannerisms around campus and in Richmond in general. These people literally let you do just about ANYTHING, even though they are just trying to be accepting they are actually being oblivious to serious things that shouldn't be accepted within a community such as: Strong drug usage, women that dress like sluts all over campus, and losing a sense of your own individuality to this monotone culture. The "what's right" and "what's wrong" ratio around here is really HORRIBLE. Since the town is so monotone, people walk around with a look of no purpose, they all like doing the same things, they look like zombies without a soul.

Moving onto campus life.....ummm so to put it in a nutshell: DORMS ARE TOO SMALL, FOOD IS UNHEALTHY, BARELY NO AFFORDABLE PARKING,THERE A LOT OF DOG POOP EVERYWHERE!, NO CONSISTENT RENOVATION, USELESS COURSEWORK IN CLASS,NOT CHALLENGING, LOTS OF MEANINGLESS REQUIRED COURSEWORK, PROFESSORS GRADE UNFAIRLY, PEOPLE ARE RUDE AS HELL, SCHOOL ISN'T WORTH ALL THE MONEY SPENT(FOOD AND TUITION) lastly, THERE ARE HOMELESS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE,AND THE KIDS ARE LOWLIFES.............DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE, GO AND GET YOURSELF AN EDUCATION SOME WHERE WHERE THEY ACCEPT YOUR UNIQUENESS AND BRILLIANCE.

Fair warning: other schools hardly accept VCU credits when you're trying to transfer. This is because the majority of classes are "introductory" or "foundation." The teachers are heavily dependent on online homework and modules, and VCU doesn't have the best technology resources so there are a lot of headaches. You will get a subpar education. Escape if you can.
