Pre-med at Richmond

<p>Well, one of the great things about richmond is that you will never have a class taught by a TA. Only professors with PhD’s teach lectures and labs, although you will typically have a TA help with a lab. I used to be a bio major, and still may switch back to that instead of my Anthro major, but switching majors had nothing to do with the bio department. So far I have loved most of my bio teachers (there was one that I didn’t really like as a person, but she was still a decent teacher, but it was an easy class), and my classes have never been more than about 30ish students in an intro class, and that was the max for a science class. Thanks to small class sizes (which get smaller as you move to more advanced classes), professors are super accessible and helpful. They all have schedule office hours every week so you can meet with them if you’re having trouble with a subject, and I find that they are always willing to help. And they get to know you, which is really nice for when you need letters of recommendation, want to do lab research, or just need help.</p>
