[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like a jerk but I thought I knew about colleges but I’ve lived in this area for 20 years and had never heard of Elon until a few years ago and did not know until recently there is a U of Richmond.

I hope my DS has ways to find out about the good places that are in my blind spots! [/quote]

I agree! I feel embarrassed to say that I didn't realize U of R was there until my baby sister toured it, loved it and ended up going there. The only school in Virginia I applied to was UVA and I didn't really look at or consider other ones and my parents didn't really involve themselves much in my school application process. I just drove down and crashed with a friend one weekend during the fall of senior year and was like "UVA seems cool" :lol: its a very different ballgame nowadays with college applications/admissions![/quote]

University of Richmond has long been kind of a school based in Virginia that really isn't of Virginia.  I'd distinguish it from Washington & Lee in that regard.  Richmond draws largely from OOS as in-state kids with similar stats may be in the range for UVA and William & Mary at a much lower price point.  Lovely campus, though.  One of the nicest in the country.[/quote]

W&L has a lower percentage of VA students than UR. I agree with the rest though. Stunning campus. [/quote]
