Interested in learning an instrument

Does anyone know if there's a place on campus to try out instruments for free? I know it's a stretch, but I just wanted to see. Thanks

Roommate Inquiry

Hello I was just wondering if any other students were looking for roommates. It would be me and my boyfriend looking for a room we don’t mind if it’s another couple or just another person. We both have good jobs (been employed for a couple years at the same place) and just started at VCU this fall. We are just looking to move in together as we have been dating for 2 1/2 years and just think it’s time. We are of course looking for our own place but stuff is expensive so we are struggling to find our own place in our price range (~1000 a month not including utilities). If anyone has a room or maybe taking over a lease we would be open to just about anything at this point. Don’t comment if you’re a serial killer or something just someone cool lol. I am a pharmaceutical science major and he is computer engineering. Thanks for any consideration!

Note: I know how to recognize scams so if you don’t have a legit room to rent then don’t comment. The only reason I am posting on reddit is because I was hoping it would be another student who has a room so if you’re not a VCU student don’t comment

Wanting to attended VCU after a second suspension from previous university

Hey y'all so I'm not good with intros so im just going to jump right into it. I have unfortunatly been suspeneded form my previous university for the second time due to some hardships that took a toll on me and my acadmeics. The first time I got suspened I will admit I played around and found out, but I was blessed with an appeal and came back my to finish my sophmore year. That year was my best year, I even earnerd a scholarship to learn Arabic. But due to hardtimes I faced my Junior year I suffered greatly. I've since then been in community college (getting my associates this spring) and at the end of this year I'll be joining the Air Force reserves to help pay for school. I say all of this to ask due to my history of academics do you think that I should just cut my loses with VCU or apply and see what happens? I appreciate any advice! Thank you!

VCU In-State Tuition

Hi all,

Been living in RVA for a little over two years now working as an engineer and decided to apply to the MBA program. Got accepted but it says that my residency is out of state.

Here is a little breakdown of myself:

  1. Working in Virginia on a TN Visa (Canadian citizen), been living in Richmond since 06/2022. As such I cannot register to vote.
  2. Did not move to Richmond with the intent to go to school, just decided to apply as a supplement for my work.
  3. Have had my VA driver's license since 06/2022, and a vehicle registered in VA since 10/22.
  4. Intend to stay in Virginia indefinitely to continue working here.

Is there anything that would stop me from get in-state tuition?

What are the best ways to make money at VCU?

I’m looking for a job/gig in the VCU area. I haven’t had a job before, so I have no job experience. I already know that there are some surveys that I can take on campus for some money.

VCU to UVA

Hi everyone!

So me and my friend are hoping to go to UVA this weekend, but when we look up busses, they all say it's an 8 hour drive (since the busses go up to DC first, then back down). And Amtrak doesn't take to Charlottesville. Neither of us have a car as we're both freshmen. I was wondering if anyone has made the trip there and knows if there's another way we can get there! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

how to deal with persistent homeless people?

i’m getting stopped like 3 times a day this point. when i say i don’t have cash, they get aggressive and tell me to go to an atm. when i tell them i don’t have a debit card to withdraw cash from, they keep arguing about how i can get money for them with my credit card (which ive tried to do but have been unsuccessful).

i’m a petite girl and the men getting aggressive with me is very scary and i feel like i have no other options. i’ve starting carrying several $10 bills around just to give it to them so they leave me alone. but this didn’t sustainable at all for me. what do you guys do? thanks.
