<p>I'm thinking of applying for the VCU pre college program.
The main thing for me is its cheap and its rated in the top 10 design colleges</p>
<p>Has anybody been to it? How was your experience?</p>
<p>It’s suppose to be really good. I don’t have any personal experience with it, but my daughter’s looking at it too. As you said, the price is good and it’s at the #1 pubic art school, so both those factors are appealing. We visited VCU this summer and were very impressed with the campus. The “fan district” of Richmond has a lot of charm and VCU has a cool urban feel. The other two she’s looking at for summer are Skidmore College and MICA. She wants the college credit and not just a program. Hopefully someone can give you more personal insights on VCU’s pre-college. She did Corcoran last year by the way, and it was well done and affordable too.</p>
