I find it amusing how a discussion of the merits of attending the University of Richmond has turned to money. For any incoming student:
A: Be prepared to shell it out
1: In exorbitant tuition; you will pay more to go to UR than you would to go to Harvard
2: Post Graduation: Richmond is a very aggressive fund raiser and you will be subject to their requests for life
B: If you choose to attend, your school’s value and reputation will only be weighed upon considerations of the endowment size and new buildings. UR students aren’t doing anything special, but the school must be good because new buildings are erected and the endowment is so damn high.
