[quote=Anonymous]My DD attends VCUArts and has enjoyed her experience in Richmond. It is a vibrant city and there is a lot to do. The campus is in the middle of the city and feels urban; the unpleasantries of urban life are present like homelessness, crime, etc. but have not impacted my child who takes precautions but has never felt unsafe. Safety on campus is a priority and VCU police have full authority and work closely with Richmond police. There may be more theft, break ins etc. than smaller town schools but I feel like violent crime rarely a factor and often just reported because it’s adjacent to campus. There have been some serious traffic injuries and fatalities and they are always reminding kids to not jaywalk or zone out on their phones.

Aside from the arts, my understanding is that health and medicine disciplines and criminal Justice areas are strong. I have less direct knowledge but just following VCU news over the past four years it seems like they have been investing a lot of resources into engineering so I would definitely give it a closer look if they are offering scholarship money.
