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

It’s smaller than Vandy and Wake, and larger than W&L. It’s not near much like a Vandy or even a W&L where you can roll down a hill into town.

Vandy has engineering. UR doesn’t. UR has business. Vandy doesn’t have a major.

Very different.

Wake is a huge full pay school. Vandy somewhat as is UR but they have more merit. W&L has a higher % getting need.

Greek life is prevalent at W&L but maybe not Greek like you think. It has business and non accredited engineering.

There are just vast difference. Wake and Vandy are D1 big time. UR small scale.

I’d say if interested apply to all and see where you get in. And what you get offered. And go from there.

Friending on major of interest I can see a cross shop but in many ways these are different schools.

Given this list, has she looked at Davidson, Bucknell (further North, a bit easier admit, or Furman, great reputation, much easier admit and big merit aid.

What is she interested in studying that she came up with this list ?
