Why did KaSaundra Peterson choose VCSU?
Learn more about KaSaundra's VCSU experienceMy time at VCSU was where I truly found out who I am and who I would be, and I know for a fact I wouldn’t be in this job, having the best time ever, if it wasn’t for the people I met, the classes I took, and the experiences I had while I attended VCSU.
I would encourage students to attend VCSU if they are looking for a school that has faculty, staff and other students who genuinely care for your success. VCSU was and still is, a second home to me.

Garret Fettig
Read more about why Garret chose VCSUI chose VCSU because I knew I wanted to attend a small university where it’s easier to make connections and know people. I toured VCSU and felt that small community, family-like aspect for myself. I was also offered a really good scholarship package that proved to me how much VCSU would value me as a student. I was sold.
