[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dc goes to vcu.  Kid is very low key, not a big party person, and has found vcu an easy place to be.  Only thing noticed, is that it is extremely diverse, but not a lot of cross over between the groups, which was a little disappointing to my kid.  [/quote]

I went to grad school at vcu and lived in Richmond after that and would say the lack of crossover is true of vcu and Richmond overall. I think part of the issue within vcu is separation of schools. Non majors are limited in ability to participate in other schools/depts' classes, productions/ensembles,  etc. [/quote]

Again, I disagree based on my kid’s experience.  In fact, you really have to work pretty hard to “stick with your own kind” in a school with no majority.  I’d look inward and not outward if I were you.  The school might not be the problem. [/quote]

Excuse me? Why the personal slam? I'm just relaying my observations about the way the university is structured and how that affected crossover between programs (eg. music and theatre shared a building but had little crossover. Both sets of students would have benefitted from more exposure to the other). The lack of crossover in the city, I noticed in my side hustle as a cab driver. This was several years, so things could have changed. I had respect for your perspective until that last comment. [/quote]
