[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Richmond is even preppier and more greek than Wake, but smaller.

Contrary to what you read on DCUM, Richmond and Wake are very popular these days, with both receiving a record amount of applications this year.  Turns out there are a lot of kids that like the combination of small classes with professors that care about teaching, meticulously maintained campuses, great post graduate outcomes and a fun D1 sports scene.

However, if your kid is small-minded enough to think all full pay kids are lazy, perhaps besides questioning your parenting skills, you should send them to UC-Merced or VCU so she doesn't have to deal with the affluent.[/quote]

Richmond is no longer all preppy and Greek Life doesn’t dominate the campus anymore. Fraternity parties aren’t even on campus anymore. Lots of non full pay kids as well. [/quote]

We had heard the same about Richmond so we went and toured. Thought it would go to top of my son’s list (great tour guide, sunny day… everyone was out and looked happy). They offered an opportunity for our kid to have lunch with current students. Those kids were clear that while Richmond is technically less fratty now, there are “unofficial frats” that dominate the social scene. Would not have been an issue for our oldest, but not what this kid was looking for.

Left the school with a positive impression, just not a place for our kid who was applying this past cycle. [/quote]
