Lelia Overton Student at This School - Grad Year 2014
The social atmosphere on campus is thriving! There is so much to do in the form of clubs, recreational and collegiate sports, Greek life, etc. The campus itself is very safe due to the constant patrol of VCU police. It's best to avoid unknown areas at night, though since assaults/robberies off-campus are somewhat common. If you are safe, Richmond has a lot to offer in the form of nightclubs, bars, VCU has campus activities through clubs and sponsored events. Also, the Cary Street Gym is open for a good portion of the day.
Marie Barr Alumnus - Grad Year 1998
Socially, it was a good school. Friends were made quickly and easily. There were some spots to hang out and grab something to eat at. When I attended VCU, there weren’t as many clubs as I think there are now. The area has been built up and seems like there’s even more to do there than before. Safety wise, I think like any city, you should use common sense and not walk by yourself late at night.
