Welcome to the University of Richmond
If you are searching for a place where you are a name and not a number, the University of Richmond beckons. Nestled in the West End of Richmond, the picturesque campus holds a closely-knit student body and offers strong, challenging curriculums in the arts and sciences, business, leadership studies and law. "Work hard and play hard" is the motto for many students, so fret not - here, higher learning does not forebode fighting for your secluded corner in the library seven nights a week; rather, a social life a couple notches above your average high school trip to the mall awaits.

University of Richmond Background
- Business Week ranks Robins School of Business among the nation's top 25 undergraduate business programs.
- A university born from the integration of the all-male Richmond College and all-female Westhampton College, UR maintains its history and tradition with separate student governments, deaneries and dorms.
- Freshmen are welcomed with a week of orientation activities to acclimate them to the college environment and to give them an opportunity to mingle with peers before the rigor of classes takes over.
- The intimate, charming campus with a spice of gothic architecture surrounds Westhampton Lake and gives the 3,500 students beautiful grounds on which to mosey and soak up the sun between classes.
