<p>I’m coming to Richmond; it’s official.</p>
<p>For me, I fell in love with Richmond when I first visited, but didn’t think my family could afford the big price tag. Applied anyway and got a great deal; sorry to hear about others that didn’t get any aid. That happened to me at other schools, too. </p>
<p>For me it came down to Sewanee vs. Hampden-Sydney vs. Richmond. St. Mary’s (MD) got kicked the instant I got their aid report. Wow, terrible deal, no thanks. Richmond is a bit more broad academically. I’m interested in languages and some of their international studies sort of things.</p>
<p>It worked out so well for me, though. Richmond’s probably the best school for me and my family can actually swing it, but barely.</p>
