My son, a freshman science scholar, was home during Fall break, and I asked him how he likes the place.

He is very glad he chose Richmond. He feels it was one of the best decisions he’s ever made, and said just about everyone he talks with feels the same way. His classes all hold between 10 and 20 kids, compared to his girlfriend’s classes at our state’s flagship university where three of her classes have over 200 students. He likes the professors, the dorm, the kids, the food, and the parties.

He had just visited his friend at the University of Michigan, and described one difference in this way: students at Michigan LOVE Michigan, they love it so much they will fight you if you are an Ohio State fan; students at Richmond love GOING to Richmond - the school spirit doesn’t compare to Michigan, but the educational and social experience is so rich and fun that the kids feel really lucky to be going to school there.
