If one has never had the opportunity to travel around the world, that priceless opportunity may be afforded on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University. VCU is home to the most eclectic student body in the state of Virginia and also has made its presence internationally with a campus in Qatar. The vibe of innovation and creativity at VCU is invigorating. Under the tutelage of President Rao, VCU has become a titan in Richmond as well as the state of Virginia under the Great Place Initiative . With the number one public arts school in America, number one medical school in Virginia, only dental school in Virginia and coveted professional programs such as nursing, health care administration, business, creative advertising, engineering and etc. VCU is asserting itself as a premier urban research institute located in the capitol city of Richmond Virginia. Apart from its academic prowess, VCU s stellar basketball team has garnered national acclimation after reaching the pinnacle of collegiate success the Final Four in 2011. Since then, VCU has been a perennial powerhouse with its HAVOC style of basketball. Simply put, VCU is force to be reckoned with.
