VCU or Virginia Tech? PLEASE HELP :(?

I wouldn't worry too much about the graduation rate like you said, because you will graduate. It sounds like VCU is your gut feeling, but your hung up on tech's prestige. Diversity sounds like it does play an important role to you as well. The thing I have found when choosing between two schools is that it's not as simple as counting up pro's and cons and choosing which has less cons. You eventually have to go with your gut instinct, or like you answered in my question, you will end up regretting it. I will say this though, you ABSOLUTELY have to visit tech before you decide because it is an amazing campus. (also #1 food on any campus) I've never seen VCU, but you definitely need to check out tech as well, it's worth seeing. Hope this helped, and good luck!
