Visit Activities:


Information Session: Yes - The session was given by a current student and would have been improved by being shorter (lots of overlap with tour guide) and having some sort of visual.

Campus Tour: Yes - Excellent student tour guide who provided lots of information and lots of his own personal experience.

Campus Visit Notes for University of Richmond


Visit Description:

University of Richmond surpassed all our expectations. The campus is beautiful and has some of the most outstanding facilities I've seen--most notably the student center which is built over the lake (the dining hall looks out over the water), and an incredible recreation center.

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Embassy Suites. It was about 10 minutes from campus. I would stay there again.
