Student Author OverviewWhat'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.

Facilities at University of Richmond

Underrated and outstanding!

Facilities are outstanding. The school's got a healthy endowment and they've really spread the wealth around campus with new construction projects, updates to existing buildings and great attention to outdoor landscaping. Academic and administrative buildings are modern and well maintained. Same goes for the library, student center, dining hall, theater and all sports and recreational facilities. Dorms, as expected, receive the least amount of resources, although are pretty well maintained and clean. The weakest link on campus might be the UFA (University Forest Apartments) that are starting to show some age inside and out. The apartments also lack the style of the Gothic grandeur construction found elsewhere on campus, and sort of stand apart from the rest of the campus beauty.

All in all, however, great facilities at UR, housed in buildings with a lot of old world charm.
