[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to VCU a long time ago.  I had just graduated from a very preppy all-girls college.  It was a bit of a shock to my system because most of the students were "artsy."  I made great friends, and they all had different majors.  I loved living in Richmond because it was a lively, fun city, but not too big.  The fan district had cafes on almost every corner, which we enjoyed, but you had to watch out for crime if you lived there, which is to be expected in a small city.  If you are looking for something preppy with more of a campus feel, check out University of Richmond.  Nothing at VCU was "ghetto," and I'm not even sure what that is supposed to mean.[/quote]

This is true. DC goes to VCU and likes it. We were just there visiting and popped into a corner cafe for something to eat. Very vibrant. Definitely feels safe but always be mindful of your surroundings and your belongings because if it's not nailed down, it will be stolen. Mail seems to get "lost" all the time, too.  Don't send cards to your student even to the dorms, since they don't make it there. The only shipments that got there were Amazon but now that DC is in an apt, everything is shipped to a locker because packages left alone tend to disappear. We don't have this issue with our other DC who goes to school in another city.[/quote]
