    Safety in this school is nonexistent. Teachers and faculty are rude. People were breaking into my…read moredorm room (Fully locked) and the school security and police team just told me to lock my door. Violent sexual assaults happen on my campus (Monroe park campus) and in my dorm building and the police don't even try to send a description of the perpetrator. Multiple repeat offenses have happened this month alone and the police have not arrested anyone. My teachers often skip classes, and I feel that I have paid full tuition to teach myself everything. The school president is greedy and takes the students money to buy cars instead of fixing the school. 0/10 transferring as soon as possible.

    Ohhh boy do I have a review of my experience at this awful racist university! I came here and lived…read morein the Honors College as required by the program I was in during my freshman year which is my LAST and I'm SO happy about it. The Honors Dorm has the interior of an old mental hospital that was purchased by the school so frankly it's not the best. This year, they assigned two people instead of one person per room which is what the rooms are intended for and work better with. Closets are severely small, so definitely watch what you're bringing with you and make sure to take home your seasonal clothing when you can. Lofted beds, and only one railing that goes a little before halfway of the bed and so that's dangerous and you have the risk of becoming injured if you fall off. We have our own bathrooms, no communal. No kitchenette except in the Honors Lounge and not sure if we're allowed to use it so always eating at Panda Express down the street or at the Shafer Dining Hall. The walls are paper thin and you can hear people laughing loudly, talking and playing music even past the quiet hours into the very early morning. Me and my roommate had to put in 5 noise complaints from our next door neighbor and nothing was done until my parents got involved and emailed the housing director of Honors when room write-ups were finally implemented because it got so bad and I had to purchase noise-cancelling headphones. Due to wearing these at night for months, my ears were always sore in the day, constantly had headaches and sleep deprived often during the week. After all this, people went out of their way to not speak to me and gossip about me. Our neighbors constantly pulled in my roommate to their dorm room to talk about the situation and only say hi to her when walking past us on purpose. Basically, I was outcasted and it's bullshit how I was treated by the others living in this dorm. Moving out was a pain because they started renovations on the other side of the street from the Honors Dorm for a new housing hall and closed off parking near the Honors College so it was unnecessarily hard to park and get my belongings into a vehicle on the side street that is a one way and has limited parking. They also do not have enough carts for everyone when moving in and out so be cautious of that and bring your own wagon to wheel your stuff in. On the positive side, the events that were hosted were fun, educational and I would definitely recommend going to them if you live in this dorm. Moving on to academics, I was a Pre-Clinical Radiation Sciences major, concentrating in radiation therapy. The classes I took for this school cost me my spot due to bad professors and a flipped style lecture class resulting in awful grades. I did extremely well in high school being in the top 100 of a 500 student body class and a Summa Cum Laude recipient so it was a surprise that I struggled at this school when I have always done well since a young age. I think being born female and white also cost my spot because they prioritize minorities and people who identify as transgender or nonbinary. I took General Physics I with Professor Woodworth, a pretty nice guy, but didn't teach well and considering I took AP Physics 1 in high school, I struggled so bad. I took an A+ in high school while this college class I had C. I did 3 tutoring appointments every week, attended PASS sessions and office hours... still barely passing the class. I also took Anatomy with Dr. Cario this past semester and SHE IS AWFUL! She is there to just get paid. Her class is a flipped style lecture where you have to watch videos on your own and learn what you did and go into class to do unnecessary group work. She did not provide help and the way her class is structured is ridiculous. Exams are worth 70% of the grade. Never have I seen a class like hers! She needs to go do something else as a career because half the students dropped her class in April and there were over 100 of us! Campus is way too big and unsafe. Driving through campus is hard because of dumbasses driving in Richmond and people jaywalking constantly out into the road. Honors College is away from pretty much everything so that was great when trying to attend club meetings and going to parties. Sexual assaults, burglaries, and shootings are common and often around the campus so be aware of that. NEVER join AOII if you're wanting to rush a sorority! I had an awful experience with them. Last but not least, when I participated in VCU Acceleration, we talked about white privilege, how minorities don't have the money to get healthcare and culture competency. There is no such thing as white privilege and should be removed from any educational curriculum as it's called economic privilege. With all that, I am not returning to VCU ever again and going to a much better school where I am respected, have more opportunities because again minorities are a priority here, and will actually make friends. Good luck, incoming students

Every single time every single visit is top notch. The campus is beautiful, the employees seem very happy and even the locals have great experiences to reflect on. If you are trying to decide you have made a great decision on a small school you just have to know that you can't compare this to a big school can't compare this to a school that is vastly different but if there's certain items on your checklist this will be just as good as any other school that you are trying to compare it to.

I enjoyed walking around campus and took photos. I passed the School of Law building which is nice on the outside. It was a quiet day and campus wasn't too busy. The people that I encountered were friendly and helpful in directing me to the Spider Shop which I believe is in the student center. I was hoping to browse the shop and perhaps buy a shirt or other University memorabilia. Unfortunately, the Spider Shop was closed when I arrived so perhaps the shop closes on Sundays. I didn't attend University here but I enjoyed my short visit. My friend went to this University for undergrad and she had a great experience. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 92/250 total reviews in 2026 - 933 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 20 May 2026

    JSRCC downtown campus is convenient in my opinion because there is only one campus building…read moredowntown and because with a JSRCC student ID you can park for free using your student ID to get in and out of the parking garage. There was a class I wanted to take before I could apply for the next degree that I plan on starting so I took Microbiology here since they offer a hybrid section where I only had to come once a week to lab. They have a Caribou Coffee shop and a bookstore in the building as well as a small cafe. You can pay for parking in the building or when exiting the garage. I really have nothing negative to say about the campus as this was the first time I had been here until this semester. The staff seems helpful. And you can access the garage from one of the upper levels. Take advantage of the study spaces they have here.

The academic advising and registrar departments are incredibly disorganized.I completed all 63 credits required for my Criminal Justice degree, finished my major electives, and applied for summer graduation. Instead of processing my degree, their broken automated system flagged my file as "Ineligible" over a major elective slot that I have already completed.Their office hours are terrible and advisors take forever to answer emails. It is completely exhausting to do all the hard coursework just to be held back by administrative incompetence at the finish line. If you want a school that actually helps you finish on time, go somewhere else.

We took the opportunity after the game to visit the college of engineering. We wanted to give our son a first hand look of this part of the campus, if he chose to pick this school. Being able to walk the campus with an unassisted tour allowed us to form our own opinions instead of someone telling us what they want us to hear. Grant it, there is a huge benefit of taking a guided tour of schools, but we did this completely spirit of the moment. The school was very clean, they had a east and west building. We visited one of the buildings and just walked through and looked in rooms, read signs. The building was very very neat, and we saw students studying in their Saturday classes. It wasn't too busy not to mention we were careful not to disrupt anyone but it was interesting to see on our own. Wherever my son selects to go I am sure it will be his choice and we will back him 100%. Until then this is a great campus in the city of Richmond and I am glad we was able to see it.
