The University of Richmond
“The University of Richmond is a very rigorousQuite BrightLanguage - French/Spanish/etc.
The University of Richmond is a very rigorous and challenging school. Real world knowledge and experiences set this school apart from the vast majority of schools. You'll leave the university prepared for just about anything, from the world of work to graduate school. The business school, law school, and arts and sciences are top-notch, plus the university boasts the only undergraduate leadership school in the nation. If you're interested in science, you'll be involved in research from day one. I am so thankful to have attended this school. Thank god a university focusing on academics still exists!The combination of resources of large research universities and the close-knit university "feel" make this a viable option for anyone.

“I'm a freshman at UR, and so far,Quite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
I'm a freshman at UR, and so far, it has been a great fit for me. The classes are demanding but not unmanageable. I had a 3.8 uw GPA at a prep school with lots of honors and APs, and this semester I got 2 B+'s and 2 B's.. I'll have to keep working hard to bring those up! Most of the students here are highly motivated and intelligent individuals which can make some classes and clubs quite competitive. That being said, it is college and there are people who party, slack off, and aren't involved. Overall, I've found that the students here are nice, motivated, and fun people to be around. My recommendation for any prospective student is that you do your research! Try to get reallyy familiar with the social scene and academic environment of several colleges before making your final choice.

“The University of Richmond totally prepared me forLanguage - French/Spanish/etc.
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.
