The University of Richmond

The University of Richmond totally prepared me for life after college. Their hands-on, real-world application based approach helped me immeasurably. The curriculum was rich, rigorous and relevant. An integrated and interdisciplinary teaching style fostering small group collaboration was key to my adjustment to my first job.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

The University of Richmond is awesome. I loved my first year here. The classes are all small and the professors are very involved and available. The students are friendly, beautiful, smart, ambitious, and great. The opportunities for paid research (even as a Freshman) are unparalleled as is the career counseling and internship possibilities. The Greek life is excellent.

This is a great university. While the Robins School of Business is currently ranked #17 nationally and UR is #27 in the National Liberal Arta category, the rankings do not do do e university justice. It is an extremely challenging, rigorous, and academically challenging environment. If you are looking for a cohesive student body and an extended family, this is the place. UR students study hard and play hard. They are well-rounded individuals who are driven and ambitious. As a Virginian who passed on W&M and UVA, this is the state's best kept secret. Don't let the sticker price shock you. A generous financial aid package can make your dream come true if you feel the same. The campus is beautiful and it's a great place to make life-long friends.
