| 100% Richmond, not even a comparison. |

| Yeah, I think even Elon admissions would advise you to go to UR |

| Both preppy, Greek and isolated, right? |

| Richmond is not isolated. |

| Please don’t indulge this. We can’t just ignore extreme academic quality differences and focus on “fit.” |

| Richmond is isolated. Much better school than Elon but definitely isolated. |

| This is OP. I wasn’t trying to start drama. I would like to learn what is different or the same about these two schools that, on a superficial level, seem pretty similar. My daughter is looking for a mid-size school. |

| Both have pretty campuses, UR is closer to a city. Elon has grown to be a national university with top academics, UR has remained committed to the liberal arts. Comparable options, go where the kid is more comfortable. |

What on earth? It’s in the city of Richmond. Elon is in the middle of nowhere. |

No way are the comparable and Elon doesn’t have top academics. |

Oh yeah? What suggests they are so different? |

Elon’s 25th-75th percentile SAT range is 1175-1330. UR is 1410-1500. Are we done comparing apples and oranges?
The smartest kids at Elon would be the dumbest kids at Richmond, to be crude about it. |
