Important Facts About This Survey!

• This PowerPoint contains answers to a survey sent to students in the VCU/MCV Family* (*Mainly the MCV c/o 2013)

• The survey was conducted in June of 2010

• The survey includes statistics to consider when moving to Richmond such as, information on where medical students live in the area, the percentage of unmarried versus married medical students, and cell phone providers students use in the area

Note:• Please keep in mind that

for the Foundations of Clinical Medicine Course (FCM) you are required to have a car to travel to and from your preceptor’s office

• Ask property managers and landlords about the average cost of utility bills- students sometimes find that the bills are much higher than expected especially whenever they are renting units in older homes and buildings
