[quote=Anonymous]My impression of VCU was positive and I agree that “ghetto” is coded racism, your friend’s anti-Trump posts notwithstanding.

My DD was interested in both the arts and pre-med (weirdly!) and wanted a diverse, urban campus, so VCU floated to the top of her list quickly. They offered her such great merit aid that it would have been LESS than our state school.

She ended up not choosing it because she wanted to keep doing her job in the DMV area, and UMBC let her do that on the weekends.

Our impression of VCU though was totally positive … with the exception of housing. And then I met a friend whose daughter had to move to an apartment her sophomore year and it’s just HARD. I was glad for on campus options for my kid all four years (also happy with the teaching/professors/research opportunities at UMBC).

Richmond is SUCH a great town though. Great food, the arts, diverse, a manageable size. I was ultimately a little disappointed my kid don’t wind up there, but it all worked out.

Good luck, OP. Stop listening to people like your friend and just help your kid choose the right place for them. [/quote]
