<p>It’s in the western suburbs. Part of campus is in Henrico Co., but the majority is in the city of Richmond (in VA, cities are not officially part of any counties). It’s a 15 minute drive downtown, so if that’s in the middle of nowhere, then I assume you’re used to urban living. The most popular places for the students to go is Cary St. which is 10 minutes away, Stony Point Mall, a five minute drive, Short Pump Town Center, a ten minute drive, or downtown to the bars, which again is just a 15 minute drive. The closest grocery, gas station, off campus quick eats, pharmacy is about a minute drive from campus. </p>
<p>It helps to have a car, but a good number of freshmen have them, so chances are your friends can take you anywhere you want to go, and a good number of people are willing to let you borrow their car as long as you pay for gas. I didn’t have a car until my senior year but it was never an issue for me or my friends to get off campus if we ever wanted to. </p>
<p>I even created a little map for you.
