Richmond is a very blue city. Just learned about this in the recent VA governor election.

Richmond is a University - but small
St. John's in Annapolis

Is Loyola Maryland too big?




Richmond is listed on the LAC side in USNWR

There are several rather small schools that are Universities - E&H and Mary Baldwin in VA and Manhattanville in NY just off the top of my head.

I saw this thread in the other forum and I immediately thought of F&M. Glad to see you included it.
