Why Garret chose VCSU
Garret Fettig, VCSU student
I 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.
A campus where you can thrive.
