This rich kids school stuff is misleading. From the research the NYT (Chetty) did on colleges a few years ago:

Median Parent Income:

UVA - $155,500
UR - $149,200

% from top 1/5th in income:

UVA - 67%
UVA - 63%

% from bottom 1/5th in income:

UR - 3.4%
UVA - 2.8%

I don’t know about you but I just can’t get excited about this school. Seems kind of blah. Not worth $400k for 4 years, that’s for sure.

Its rep is definitely kind of mid. But I’m sure it’s a fine school.

I’m confused. Is it a school of rich kids who love money and booze and drugs, or is it not?

The same study shows Richmond has over 15% of its students coming from top 1% earning families while UVA has 8.5%.

Yes, Richmond has a higher percentage rich, but also a higher percentage Pell eligible than UVA.

So it's more like an ivy than UVA? What's your point?

The point is it is being portrayed as only rich and that is misleading.
