Small Class Sizes Ensure Thorough Learning

Most class sizes are small (about under 25 people) and none of them are taught by TAs, which means you feel up close and personal with the professors. Most of them are brilliant yet very demanding. Class discussions are common and the professors encourage visitations and group study outside of class. Richmond specializes in the liberal arts, so it's guaranteed that you'll be free to explore many interdisciplinary studies.

Preppy Is Perfection

UR has a good looking student population, filled with physically fit and fashionable guys and girls. Imagine guys in pink shrots and girls in sundresses.Partying is pretty much the only social activity, although for such a small school UR knows how to throw a good party. People seem snobby but away from their group everyone is nice.
