My Richmond Experience

To my credit, UR made no effort to help with the education process. It is not entirely uncommon for a high school senior to have little perspective and understanding of “the bigger picture.” That said, there was certainly more that I could do.

Also, you’re not rebuking my arguments at all. You said I had a pathetic spin-job. Let’s talk about real jobs. If you went to UGA and worked the same, played the same, studied the same, etc. you’d probably end up with better job opportunities, have more fun, and be a more involved rounded person at graduation. For me this is exactly what has happened. Going to a public school completely transformed my life for the better. Richmond was an isolating, enclosed experience that was stunting my growth. I’ll concede some may like it, but in case there’s someone out there reading this that might have been in my shoes where they were a little nervous to go to the big school campus and maybe wanted a more secure environment to study in - THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT RICHMOND.
