But, there were few people who feel they had best professors and couldn't expect anything better from the school.

Verdict at Virginia Commonwealth University

If you think you are serious about pursuing educations abroad and want a job in States then VCU is definitely not the one for you. After completing your education the university does not add up to your profile in States because genuinely there are a lot of other universities who are renowned as compared to this university. But, if you consider the fee structure in your mind then everything seems pleasant. Acceptance rate is higher which means that there are easy chances of you getting in VCU and if you are looking for a degree from U.S then this university sounds much more sensible than any other. Good food, good city and certificate from State's university at this price is a great thing to achieve but only if you want to do all this just for a degree and come back to your motherland. To be true, the campus is not as safe as the city is and a lot of assault cases have been filed against a lot of students but that is all due to group clashes amongst the students and does not have much to do with locality. But, before thinking of this university keep its fee structure and faculty in mind; in this case both seem unreasonable. Think thrice and make a choice that matches your future not your conditions.

Verdict at Virginia Commonwealth University

If you think you are serious about pursuing educations abroad and want a job in States then VCU is definitely not the one for you. After completing your education the university does not add up to your profile in States because genuinely there are a lot of other universities who are renowned as compared to this university. But, if you consider the fee structure in your mind then everything seems pleasant. Acceptance rate is higher which means that there are easy chances of you getting in VCU and if you are looking for a degree from U.S then this university sounds much more sensible than any other. Good food, good city and certificate from State's university at this price is a great thing to achieve but only if you want to do all this just for a degree and come back to your motherland. To be true, the campus is not as safe as the city is and a lot of assault cases have been filed against a lot of students but that is all due to group clashes amongst the students and does not have much to do with locality. But, before thinking of this university keep its fee structure and faculty in mind; in this case both seem unreasonable. Think thrice and make a choice that matches your future not your conditions.
