Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Virginia Union University is a very small school. That's a plus when in the classroom because you work close with your professors. You get more out of your learning my classroom.
Am enjoying being here Virginia Union University is a very enjoyable campus because the environment, the different cultures, and the history behind the school is very interesting.
Tips for prospective students My tips for prospective students are get involved on campus and it would give you better position on your campus. campus does get a little boring sometimes so just get involved and there would be a lot of events to unbore you!

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Most of the teachers are really helpful, and they try to make sure that you have everything you need to be successful in their classes. Since the classes are smaller, the teachers have the ability to know you on a personal level, and that helps when it comes to extra credit
Am enjoying being here Richmond in general is a little boring if you don't have a car, but there is always something close to do if its just going t hang out at VCU, if you do have a car the opportunities are endless, and it helps when you have good friends on campus.
Bang for the buck The education that most professors provide is exactly what you're going to need if you plan on going to grad school.
Tips for prospective students Have fun, and make the most out of it. Union is what you make it.
Great for these types of students Focused, looking to join a BGLO, people majoring in religious studies

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Virginia Union University is a very small school. The classroom setting are comfortable and the instructor's give personalize attention. You get more out of your learning my classroom.
Tips for prospective students My tips for prospective students are get involved in campus activities to get your familiar with campus life and the environment surrounding the campus. This would give students the advanatage for sucess.
Academic Rigor i have not had a change to take any classes. i learned on the tour that they have small classes and have 55% females and 45% males and 65% of grauadtion rates.
Dorm Life Dorm life has made me better as a independent thinker. I no longer rely on someone else to be sure where I need to be. I love the family life that I have established here! I would not have learned these independent skills living at home and attending college.
Food and Dining I love food! The food here is good... I do take advantage of the variety of meals prepared and appreciate the cooks!
What to do for fun For fun, I hang with my dorm friends, whether its walking to the store, studying together or catching up on our favorite reality T.V. show in one of our rooms.
Bang for the buck The only price tag I can put on my education is making sure I make the grade so that I feel I have not lost any money paid for my education. When I think about the rising cost of education I realize the importance of making that passing grade.

Greek Life alpha kappa mu honor society, alpha phi omega.
Campus Safety I think that campus safety is important. Not only are we familiar with security locations as a family of students we tend to watch out for each other as well. is surounded by the police-training academy of richmond police training academy. it feels very safe while you are on the campus

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences the school is an ten out of ten. the staff and students give you a family vibe when you are on campus. everyone is so helpful and the school has great history behind it.
Tips for prospective students it would be best to set up a day where you can take a tour of the campus. you can get that one on one if you would like by your tour person. it would be a student and its great because they can let you know how they felt first attending the school!
Academic Rigor i have not had a change to take any classes. i learned on the tour that they have small classes and have 55% females and 45% males and 65% of grauadtion rates.
Dorm Life they have dorms that are for different students with certain majors. the dorm was in a nice sitting. i really like the fact that washing clothes is free. enrollment of students are 1,500.
Food and Dining i really like the fact they have fried chicken wednesday's; i love chicken. they also have all kinds of pizza and different favors. that's all i needed to hear i love pizza.
What to do for fun i love doing anything that i can think of that would be fun at the time. i believe in having a positive circle. i love dancing, raping, and making others laugh.
Great for these types of students for students who want to get that one on one with their professor. who wants to be in a small class room setting. who want their safe and students to have a family feel and people who you ca go to in time of your needs.

Categories Rating Comments Am learning a lot Learning wise depending on you major Virginia Union has a lot to offer you have small class sizes and your professors are more than willing to always lend a helping hand
Am enjoying being here I came here knowing the school was an HBCU but I believed the campus woudl be a little more diverse, also the majority of the people here are ghetto still have a hood mentality and disrespectful. To me it feels like i am dealing with a bunch of immature children ( no matter where you go you will encounter the same problem )
Tips for prospective students Establish your self early on in the school year show your professor's that you want to learn and they will go head over heels for you. Campus Gets boring very easily ( no cable ) so you'll have to find things to occupy your time, and lastly MAKE SURE YOUR FINANCES ARE IN ORDER
