[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how all the UR backers crap on Elon (a fantastic school with talented kids) and then clutch their pearls anytime someone says something negative about Richmond.

People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.  [/quote]

That’s because Richmond has an extremely overinflated opinion of itself that doesn’t square with reality.   It’s a Richmond thing. [/quote]

I’m not a UR person and I’ve raised this point before, but I do think the level of criticism it receives is unwarranted. The NoVa people seem to be offended that the school even exists. And I don’t even think UR people over value the school. They just bristle when people say things like it’s comparable to Elon. No shade against Elon but that’s just simply not true unless we’re talking about anything other than vibes. [/quote]

Why isn’t it true?   Both are good not great schools.  Both have excellent business schools.   Both have a pre professional party vibe.   UR isn’t all that.   It’s fine.  So is Elon.  No one in the real world distinguishes between these two schools.  [/quote]

Agree, Elon has a lot going on right now. Humble beginnings as a regional
school, but major upward trajectory over years in business, communications, theatre, engineering and now accredited with nursing. UR has a much more privileged past, endowment great marketing, but strip it all away and they are a lot more similar than some think. [/quote]
