You either didn't actually think this or you're stupid.
DP but I’m guessing stupid because I’m also guessing they were trying to insult the school by calling it a community college and accidentally said commuter college, which isn’t a real designation and wouldn’t preclude it from also being a LAC.

Never known anyone who went there. Where do these people go when the graduate? Where do they come from? A mystery.
This question has already been asked and discussed in this thread but I’ll bite anyway. It’s easy to find out where they come from because schools publish that info. And because less than 20% are from Virginia, they are more likely to disperse elsewhere than stay in-state. So yeah, there aren’t that many Spiders in Nova. It’s not anything mysterious if you use logic and Google to approach the question, however.

What posters don't get is that some people make a lot more money than their neighbor or have saved a lot more their kids' education than their neighbor has saved. Or maybe they inherited some money or settled a huge pi case. So, these private schools aren't the luxury for them that they are for others.
T20 gets shit on all the time, e.g. the Chicago thread two posts down, but for obvious reasons.
There are many outside t20 and expensive but no one seems to care. I think being in Virginia is its sin. Ordinary people, at least the ones on dcum, are small persons, kinda trumpy.
Well, it’s a state where nearly 50% voted for trump
It’s a country where nearly 50% voted for Trump.

Only 20% of UR students are from VA.
They will be surrounded by and exposed to at least some weirdos there.
Just say no.
I hope you’ve just said no to UVA, VA Tech, and W&M. You not liking Virginia has nothing to do with the University of Richmond. And there are much higher percentages of Virginians in those three elite VA publics than at UR.

When we visited in the spring the campus was dead even though class was in session and the students were there.
