I am a 100% online student in another state so I have not been to the campus. I know about the culture there from emails and social media, all of it positive. VCUS has been incredibly supportive and accommodating. Highly recommend!
Overall 4.5
I love VCSU! I am working on my 3rd degree from there. I never even looked at another university. The professors know who I am even though I live out of state. I'm not just a student behind a computer screen. I was on campus for my first degree. I love the small family feel of VCSU. When I return to town, I meet with professors about twice a year.

I absolutely loved my time at VCSU. The internet was iffy. but that seems to be the case at many schools. I felt like the professors always had my best interest at heart.

I have truly loved my time at VCSU. Valley City is a very small community but the nice thing about that is you are not just a number on an enrollment list. You are actually a person and you will be able to easily make connections with faculty and professors. Professors are eager to get to know their students and are very willing to help.
