<p>Excellent points by Higher Ed and Spider05. We have been to campus as recently as last month - our daughter is a student there! But, I stand corrected for not having looked up any stats. My observation is from being on campus for the past three years on numerous occasions. I travel (in my job) to college campuses on a regular basis, and I observe diversity the moment I set foot on a campus. So, again, my comments come from the “feel” and were not backed up by the great statistics you both provided. Bottom line is that walking on BU or Rutgers campus ((I was there last week) the students look and feel very different. Richmond just still “feels” very preppy and all the other characteristics that go along with that moniker. That doesn’t mean there isn’t diversity! The students couldn’t be any more friendly, the professors are top notch, the campus is gorgeous, and the academic rigor has been way higher than we expected when we started there. There is so much to do and be involved in. I think anyone who has the opportunity to go to Richmond will find exceeds expectations!</p>
