[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another VCU art parent here. My son is graduating in May. He has a job lined up (thanks for your concern N. Arlington Mom).

He fell in love with the city when we first visited and has thoroughly enjoyed his time in Richmond. It's not the typical campus experience, but he didn't want that. He lived on campus his first year, then in an apartment with friends after that. Off campus living is much cheaper.

I would not recommend VCU for a student who isn't comfortable in a diverse, urban environment. But if you've got an arty kid who wants to be immersed in a funky art-school vibe, it can be the perfect fit. [/quote]

Parent of a JMU student (not in art or education) but have to say the "North Arlington" poster is a complete troll.  We know many successful VCU grads. Annoying.

To the OP, your DC has excellent options and a tough choice.  Not much to add other than good luck.  Our DC loved (as did I) our VCU tour. But in the end, our kid chose JMU and loves it.  But again not in art or education.

Wishing your DC all the best.
