UR vs. Duke

<p>To be clear, S, who was a Richmond President scholarship recipient, started at UR in August, 2007, the same time as the new president. S was successful academically, making the Dean’s List. However, he chose to leave at semester completion in December 2007 . Whether the administration / student relationship is improving under the new president is a matter of opinion. When visiting the campus make sure you find out about the infamous “sidewalk chalk” incident earlier this semester. Although S was not involved in that incident, the administrator and the pettiness of the situation are the same. </p>

<p>I’m not saying, “don’t go to UR.” The people I met in Admissions, Financial Aid, and some professors were absolutely super. As long as you can stay clear of certain administrators, you should be fine.</p>
