Efflorescence are minerals that are being carried by moisture to the surface and an indication of excess moisture issues. What happens is, water infiltrates the block or the concrete wall and dissolves minerals.
If you have better alternatives, by all means pursue them, but a year at VCU is far better than community college, and you can get that transfer if you want, (but ace the grades, a 3.0 at VCU won't buy you much in the transfer market.) Hope this helps, good luck! 0 Â· Reply Â· Share on Facebook.
Realize too that college admissions IS a business. Schools want to look good. And the first thing people ask when applying to schools are average SAT scores and GPA. So obviously it'd be easier to get into a tier 1 school with less than awesome SAT scores.
