Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students really seem to enjoy UR and its retention rate, 92 percent, seems to reflect that. Those people who just don’t feel like they fit in transfer out after freshman year, so by the time senior year comes around, everyone in your class likes the school and knows one another, for the most part. There is also an influx of students who transfer into the school at the beginning of sophomore year. The best part about UR is the intimate atmosphere that it has, being a somewhat small, private university. It is a comfortable atmosphere that allows them to study in peace and relax when they need to. You get to know a lot of people and develop close friendships with many of them. The campus is gorgeous and so are the people.

Students at UR rarely have much to complain about and few could see themselves at any other school. They realize how lucky they are to be here and try to make the most of their opportunity by taking advantage of the great education, strong alumni network, and career preparation activities that the school provides. There are students who don’t particularly like the school when they first arrive, but by the end of their time at UR, they don’t regret their original choice to attend.

Great Facilities

The gym is really great on campus: tons of treadmills, a nice pool, and lots of equipment that is available to use. The library is also very nice, though it can get very crowded during exams.

Decent Parking

Parking is relatively OK, but depending on which lot you park in, you may have to constantly move your car during sporting events.

Computers at University of Richmond

Speedy, High-Tech

There are computers located in all the dorms, in addition to all academic buildings. The library has a total of 180 computers, all of which work well and have fast internet access. My only complaint would be that sometimes you can't find an available computer in the library! But there is wi-fi all over campus, so you're more than welcome to either use your laptop or go to another academic buildling for computer access.
