There are a ton of athletes and athletic programs. Many athletes are able to also mingle with non athletes on campus, which is nice. Watching varsity sports games isn't particularly popular on campus, although they are getting better. Football games are most popular because of tailgates before hand. There are a lot of intramural sports, though mostly due to the popularity and competition in the Greek system.

The computers at the libraries are often full during busy work times but are often free all other times. It is nice to have your own computer for Wi-Fi. There are a lot of other computer labs in the classroom building that are often always open and available.

There is little diversity on campus. While I believe that there has been more racial diversity and religious diversity on campus recently, more people are white, fairly wealthy, and Christian.

Richmond is a great city. There is a number of different parts of the city with different feels. Carytown is a great place to walk around, shop, and eat. It is surprisingly eclectic. In downtown Richmond, Shockhoe Bottom is a cobblestone street with a lot of bars and restaurants. We are close to VCU but don't interact with those students often, although we sometimes go to programs there.

Public transportation isn't great around Richmond. Buses do come to campus, but I don't know anyone who uses them. There is a UofR-specific Spider shuttle that takes students to various locations around the city of Richmond.
