Over $80,000 for state school! That’s insane.

Daughter was accepted with a full ride three years ago. Everyone she asked at the school (and what she saw on her own) said that the white and black kids don't socialize together. That was a problem for my mixed race kid who enjoys a diverse friend group. She went elsewhere.

It’s a private school. If that’s out of budget, don’t consider it. That’s the way this process works.

That’s even worse! $80,000 a year for a non-name regional college. I guess there’s a sucker born every minute.

School ranks near the top for Princeton Review’s “little race/class interaction.” Not a good thing.

Honestly, I could maybe see spending that kind of money for a reputable school, assuming you have money to burn. But for Richmond? You got to be kidding me. Who are these people doing that!

People with money who have mediocre kids and go for the schools marketing. That’s the target audience.

We got the same vibe

I had never heard of it until I moved to Arlington. Don’t know anyone who goes there. Don’t think it really compares to UVA, WM, VA Tech or GM.

It’s a top 20 LAC. You people are so weird. If it’s not your thing, don’t go.

No-name regional college? Are you 'tarted? It's the #22 ranked LAC. It ranks higher than Haverford, Colby, and Bates! Your kid must not have gotten in.

Rankings mean nothing. Easily manipulated. It’s mid-tier. Always has been. Always will be. But you do you.

No one pays ANY attention to rankings. If you look at them they make no sense. At all. Kenyon #45. Oberlin #55. Richmond #22. Yeah. Right. Nice one. Makes me laugh.
