Richmond is a fantastic school.Quite BrightPolitical Science
Richmond is a fantastic school. Although it may seem to be super-conformist or even like an add for lily/polo/tiffany’s, there are thousands of opportunities to be an individual within the university. Not only does Richmond provide an excellent academic system that is equally challenging and accessible to its students, but the social relationships are the real deal and will last for years. And yes, you’ve heard correctly – Greek life is very prevalent. If you are bright enough to come to UR, you must also be intelligent enough to see past the reputation that it is merely a "bubble full of exceedingly attractive and rich spoiled brats." Richmond is up and coming and by the time you graduate its reputation will be stellar in the job market. Not only will it provide amazing experiences while you are a student such as the great study-abroad program, but you will be so thankful (and lucky) to have a degree from this fine institution. I love this school and only have the best things to say about it.

This is the most conservative place on earth.Quite BrightPolitical Science
This is the most conservative place on earth. 98% of student body are white prep kids from private schools, coming from republican families and driving BMW's. If you are Liberal and want to make a difference in this world don't come to this university. However Campus is beautiful! and staff is friendly.
