My Alma mater #ram4life This university has transformed over the years since I attended. The rich history of Richmond VA mixed with the technology, modern architecture, and the diversity of the many cities of Virginia highlight this city university. The Monroe Park Campus is the main Academic campus and the Medical Campus is MCV (Medical College of Virginia) which is located downtown downtown. I have watched it grow from nameless buildings to more high rises than one can name. Many things remain from when I attended 1997-2004 but many new and upcoming buildings and structures dot the landscape of historic row houses and churches and buildings. The diversity of VCU is also a great draw, one of the reasons why I chose it over all others I could have gone. And I don't regret it one bit! If my children decide to go here, I couldn't be more proud!

I do not recommend students coming to Virginia Commonwealth University. The professors are very rude and do not care about there own students. Robin C. Lawson was very Rude to my child who attends VCU. Robin C. Lawson does not care about her students if they pass or fail which is very sad. I do not recommend students going to her for advice that's what I did and I was wrong. My Child is transferring to UVA a much better school. The professors don't care if students succeed in life which is sad. Very poor faculties. Terrible experience at VCU. Do not attend here you will regret it!!

VCU Broad Street Mile...beautiful day at the Street Party!

A great community of people who are here to learn (well, most are anyway) and are damn proud to be a Ram.

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.

Do not waste your time or money at Reynolds Community College if you expect a smooth path to…read moregraduation. 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.

My son was accepted into this school for chemical engineering. Admissions invited us to a women's…read morebasketball game against University of Richmond. 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.
