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.
I can't believe we're even having this discussion. Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Duke, Stanford, MIT, CalTech and UChicago are what I think of as the good schools (at least as far as major universities go). Rice is good, but it's definitely not in that league. UVA and UNC both provide decent educations, but they're public schools.
