<p>For all parents and prospective students, make sure you visit the schools that you have the most interest in attending. Try to visit on a typical day rather than on a special “visiting day.” Make sure you get clear and concise information. Go back to each campus at night to get a different perspective. Try to go into and tour a few of the dorms. Eat in the cafeteria (again, on a typical night rather then during a special “visiting” session). Go online and search out sites regarding “Campus Security” and “Campus Crime Statisitcs”. I don’t have the specific web address but you can google “Campus Security” or “Campus Crime statistics”. Make sure you search deep within the security websites to find statistics regarding alcohol—referrals, arrests–and compare them to the size of the student body. </p>
<p>The above info is in regards to all prospective colleges–not specific to just Univ. of Richmond. </p>
<p>I’ll refrain from posting on the Univ. of Richmond threads from now on. My hope is that parents and prospective students will get fair, balanced, and clear information from future posters. Good luck to everyone in their search.</p>
