      A Great Place to Learn & Grow

      Pros

      VCU is an evergrowing campus of great people and even better educational opportunities. The students have kept me for years and I have established great relationships with administrative staff and faculty. The fluidity of information and knowledge sharing about the campus networks of students, faculty, and staff is unmatched and invaluable. I've been at VCU for over five years and in several capacities. I foresee no desire to vacate my position in the near future. There's plenty of career and educational advancement opportunity here.

      Cons

      The value of diversity at VCU is understated often times and not included in many policy decisions. The high volume of students and organizational commitments tend to result in voluminous work loads that are not centralized (regarding the organizational structure).

      Pros

      An urban higher ed institution that has a strong research culture and an excellent teaching service. VCU status has recently been classified as having very high research activity by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education.

      Cons

      The campus is dispersed as it is located in downtown Richmond. The campus is divided into two subcampuses: the MCV campus for medical and health science schools and the Monroe Park campus for the remaining fields of study. Parking is very difficult.
