I only attended ONE WEEK in this school.AverageBiology
I only attended ONE WEEK in this school..GOT BILLED 3,000.00!!!!!
Now if I refuse to pay they send my account to a collection agency!
Secondly, the admission staff..honestly definition of B*$@'s.
They broke my dreams of college & dreams of becoming a dentist.
I'm only writing this review so others do not go through what I'm going through. RUN AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN FROM VCU***!

Question
First of all the students suck, they areBrightBiology
First of all the students suck, they are arrogant and selfsatisfied, you are all alone of you are new and don't know this palce very well. No one to turn to and no one to talk to and even if you go and talk they act as if you are an ALIEN, i don't know may be coz of color, i don't hear racial words around but being a human and a human's intuition tell them all. If you don't have friends, you are basically screwed, but i have to give it to some of the professors, they are really there to help you and some are so busy to run to their "other job" that students literally have to wait for another week or so. Resources are not as sufficient. The worst thing is that you pay for it and there is nothing as promised. Plus some amount crossed from financial aid for health is never observed to be applied to students. The housing sucks the same way, no AC, bad roofing but the University is trying to remodel itself in certain parts and building, but that is also taking too long. Food sucks, just coz students have to pay doesn't mean studetns have so much money, and the prices are outragious, and there is no udnerstanding that "WE ARE STUDETNS, AND WE DON'T NECESSIRILY HAVE MONEY". Faculty employees suck the same way, they are so soooo mad to see you in the morning. And they want you to know that they are so mad that you are there to show your face but some employees are exceptional. Basically you are judged by the color of your shoes, shirt and things...Not only me but my GIRLFRIEND is desperately waiting to transfer some where else, even if it is COMMUNITY COLLEGE. We are really sick of people's mentality and attitude. We thought this would be a good place since it's got diversity but now we are tired, it has diversity with the cost of segregation....A lot of segregation...Think thousand times and choose where you want to go and what you want to end up with, before you make your decision, coz the education you get there makes your life worth living.
