Perhaps my admission colleagues at other institutions are “staffing” college confidential whereas we have considered it an organic activity. Students who post here from UR are those that do so because they know about the site, probably used it when they were high school students and are willing to do it. On occasion, I have invited some students to post when there are specific questions that need a student viewpoint and I don’t expect the “organic” participation will take care of it. Most of the student conversation is happening on Facebook where we have very active group of students conversing about all kinds of things with each other and a larger UR student contingency.

I don’t think a lack of participation on this web board should be construed as a lackluster campus environment–maybe just the opposite. Our students are fully engaged in their academic lives as well as many other things happening here on campus and in the city. Exams are rapidly approaching (there are just 2 more weeks of classes here) and students are very, very busy.

I will certainly invite other students to participate on CC, but I might also encourage your daughter to join the Facebook group and also our UR social network at groups.richmond.edu “accepted students 2013” group to interact with current UR students and faculty in greater numbers. Students are also welcome to e-mail “asksar@richmond.edu” to ask questions directly of Student Admission Representatives and to contact our SpiderDiaries bloggers through the spiderdiaries.richmond.edu web site.

Of course, we also welcome you to visit campus if you are able.
