What Our Students Say
The Honors College provided me opportunities to gain research opportunities. Through the help of the College, I was able to find a research project that I am passionate about. The College also made it possible [to pursue research experiences] by providing me the resources necessary to attend conferences.
The Honors College provided me the opportunity to study abroad at the capacity I felt comfortable with. The activities i participated in were life changing and memorable.
The Honors College, through its courses of intention and faculty, has really helped me level that intersection between social advocacy, biomedical science and my passion for humanity. I don’t think that if I went to a different school that I would have had this experience.
The experiences I had inside and outside of the classroom at the VCU Honors College made it possible for me to get to where I am today.
VCU is a great place with a lot of opportunities, but it can feel overwhelming because there’s so many different directions that you can take. That’s why it was so great to have the Honors Community to support me within the larger university. That was really special to me because even at such a large university, I had a community to lean back on, which I found in Honors.
The Honors Guaranteed Admission Program has opened so many doors for me. Outside of knowing that I have a guaranteed spot in a Top 20 Physical Therapy school, there have been a lot of other added benefits to being in the program.
