“I am a senior who is considering VCUBrightAccounting
I am a senior who is considering VCU after just moving to VA this year. I recently went to visit the campus:
Richmond is an okay city its not like new york city. Its not bright lights and amazing buildings. Buildings are average looking, unless your stuck up the surrounding area wont matter. They have nail tattoo and hair salons in walkable distance. The dorms suck, that's just the truth. Unless you go to brandt. As far as the facilities the school of business looked good as well S the other dorms. Looking for a prestigious business school this osnf it but their business program is a good way to get a head start.
If u like the city, understand everything isnt peaces and cream, and willing to adjust to the mediocre things in life u'll be fine. Sports food and diversity are all 5/5. No foot ball though!

“Just don't go here.Not so brightAccounting
Just don't go here. It's really that simple. The school does not have a very good reputation and you will be wasting much of your time dealing with people that do not want to go to the school. Many people simply go here only because its the closest school around, and it essentially accepts anyone with a pulse. If you are serious about becoming a CPA go to a better school with more resources, with a better faculty, smaller classes, and better reputation from perspective employers.

“I did the undergrad and graduate program atQuite BrightAccounting
I did the undergrad and graduate program at VCU. Graduated on time and got a good job. The company I work for is national company and our local branch looks to VCU regularly for new hires, I think that's pretty much the best thing you can say about any school.
College is what you make it, if you want to go to a ton of parties and meet a bunch of new people, most students live near the school and are ready to add new friends to the scene. If you want to make yourself look as marketable as possible to future employers, there are plenty of clubs to join and a great career center to help you.I look back on my time there very favorably and wouldn't change a thing
