Comparing U of Richmond to schools like Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, Washington & Lee, Davidson

Thanks for the update. The link which you kindly provided totals 5120 students. I assume that the other approximately 300 undergrads are internationals.

Of the 5120, 43% are from Confederate states and 40% are from Northeastern states, a decided shift as you’ve pointed out.

The difference I see with Richmond is that Richmond now has a majority (56%) of its students from the Northeast and while Wake Forest retains a substantial part of its population base from the Old South, Richmond’s percent of students from the Old South has shrunk to 27%. Hence, they are outnumbered by Northeasterners by about 2:1 while Southerners still slightly outnumber Northeasterners at Wake Forest.

This is only one dimension of life at these schools and there are plenty of others to compare.
