local Careytown looked like a fun area to explore. Center City of Richmond a bit further but easy to get to when they get more shuttles for the students as planned.

Campus Visit Notes for University of Richmond


Visit Description:

Loved the feel of this campus. Lots of towering pine trees and thus piles of soft pine needles to trample on. Gothic architecture throughout and a huge student center spans the lake. We looked at a lot of colleges in the northeast and south. Richmond has it all! The science building was new and exciting. Impressed with the faculty, lab facilities, course offerings and posters of ongoing research projects.
