VCU and Richmond
Location is everything
Our location in historic Richmond, the capital of Virginia since 1779, attracts students, faculty and staff from around the globe. Accessible by plane, train, bus and car, our location affords an easy day trip to Colonial Williamsburg, Washington, D.C., Virginia Beach and the Blue Ridge Mountains. With a greater metropolitan population of nearly one million, the city’s size provides for stimulating activities, yet its small-town atmosphere offers charm and a “big-city” feel.
Richmond’s neighborhoods
Unique, vibrant neighborhoods in and around Richmond exemplify the diversity of the city and range from historic Church Hill — one of the best-preserved 19th-century neighborhoods in the country — to the Fan District, 85 blocks of quaint homes, family run eateries and eclectic boutiques.
Recreation
Recognized as the cultural, economic and political focal point of Virginia, Richmond offers a plethora of cultural and recreational opportunities — from viewing the latest art exhibition at one of the city’s many museums, to camping, kayaking, white-water rafting, canoeing or caving in the city’s 75 riverfront parks and urban wilderness areas.
