r/vcu

So, Im really confused about which majors I’m supposed to choose. I’m pre-med and I chose Biology. However, I came across some people who chose both Chemistry and Biology majors. Wouldn't that be too hectic? Or is that needed to score well at the mcat? Can anyone guide me on which major/minor I’m supposed to take if I’m pre-med?

does anyone have an idea of how much rlh would charge you for damage paint on the wall?

I want to take these 2 over the summer so I can count them towards the upper level electives I need, but how difficult are they, if they even are at all?

Yesterday around 6 or 7 I went on a little walk in the rain and there was a man playing a song outside Passion Project. WHAT WAS THAT SONG PLEASE IM GOING CRAZY

hi ramily! I'll be joining VCUarts in fall 2026, and I do know what the core classes are for the AFO program (which I think are space, drawing, surface, and time studio, and art history and a project studio/seminar classes, please correct me if I am wrong!)

However, while seeing the study plan for AFO students here, I noticed that some of the classes listed in the Spring semester for 2027 are available for me to choose during the "Fall 2026" term in eServices. (Such as Surface Research and Time Studio.) Should I wait till the Spring Semester to select those classes, and ignore that they are available to me now?

here is a screenshot for what I'm talking about for reference:

i’m an art student in my final semester and i feel like i’m going insane.

all i can think about is work and my future, i honestly could not care less about these classes tht ive been so excited for in the past. my assignments this semester would usually be amazing, the topics and tasks are interesting and fun, but i feel completely paralyzed.

in art school we obvs don’t have exams like the rest of yall, but are instead slapped with projects that take at LEAST 10 hours each (or 5 if you’re really bullshitting).

i have done… practically nothing. most of my assignments are due this upcoming week, and i have six classes.

i legit cannot make myself care anymore. it feels awful. i have good grades and honestly even if i didn’t do my finals, id probably still graduate, but i can’t let myself fall off that badly. i’ve worked so hard.

just needed to vent, i guess. if anyone read this or has any advice, thank you. i didn’t deal with this in high school, because i was so hyped up about going to art school- so i feel kinda insane.

Like if you wanted to get a $14 poke bowl, would you need to use dining dollars or could you add a drink and use two swipes?

If you (or someone you know) lost their med tech ID for VCU I found it and want to give it back.

If you’re a VCU med student and want to spread this amongst peers, please do.

If the owner sees this feel free to PM me the name on the badge so I know it is you.

I’ll of course drop it off at the medical campus if it goes unclaimed.

Hey guys!!

Obviously im a bit late to the game but i JUST enrolled into vcu as a first year!! Housing apps opened like on april 7th, and pretty sure GRC or wtv it is all filled up but im not sure (probably). What’s the next best dorm that i can apply to?

Anyone looking for housing starting August 1st? I am looking for someone to take over my lease in a 2bed 2 bath. Rent is 1294 per person with garage parking included (you can remove parking and drop rent to 1194). I WILL SPLIT 1st month rent with you as an incentive!!

did anyone else receive grades back for the phylogenetic upload??? i’m tryna to see if she just graded everyone’s so shitty… because it makes absolutely no sense how i followed every instruction and she took a crazy amount points off😭🫩
