Freshman: My experience at the University of Richmond has been one filled with incredibly understanding and motivating professors. Since my first semester I found that my mental health and well being in general has been put at the forefront and prioritized with accommodations regarding course work. There are a variety of activities, clubs, and sports that radiate inclusive and encouraging energy to any and all that join. There is constantly something to do on campus ranging from acapella performances , day of the dead celebrations, haunted houses, mechanical spider riding, just about anything! The resources on campus are also endless. There is a highly vocalized opportunity to engage in research alongside professors, and career services that help launch well prepared students into internships. Something that I would like to change around campus would perhaps be an upgrade in security. This meaning more patrol around the entrances of campus simply because it is so easy access to the public.... Read 767 reviews

Sophomore: Virginia Commonwealth University has been an adventure as a campus and university to learn under. The main aspects that differentiate VCU from most other universities in Virginia are the urban landscape, art forward movement, and the progressiveness of the university itself. I like the arty feel of the campus and university and I feel much more comfortable in this urban setting rather than the rural campuses like UVA. The campus can be accessed easily and is also very walkable. The main issues are the traffic and homeless people, but I don't find it much as a problem if you plan ahead, are generally cognizant, and kind. The programs and classes are exciting and not too unbearable. Though, I am a bit biased because my major is in psychology and I was not able to take most of the General Education classes due to my pre-existing credits. The professors are also generally great. A select few are unlikable to all and there are many instructors that cater to different learning styles.... Read 4,689 reviews

Sophomore: My experience at Hollins was exactly what I dreamed it would be. I had always wanted a more quaint, peaceful college experience, and HU encapsulates that to the highest degree. I loved the small class sizes, relationship-building with classmates, and intentionality from all staff. I loved that I am not a test score or a number, but a person seen for my interests, personality, and passions. I loved the classes I took, and I was also provided many great opportunities, like being able to work in the president's office, speak on panels, and become an RA. It is a safe, beautiful campus full of nature and the strength of the women who came before. There are also lots of little lounges hidden around campus, which I love! The things I would change would be the quality of the food and housing. With how much is paid, the lack of variety/quality in food and the housing on campus without AC in August doesn't feel fair, especially as students are required to have a meal plan and live on campus....

Junior: When I first got to Randolph I didn’t think I would be as social as I am now. My first visit I was very nervous and didn’t think I would fit but it comes to find out that I was wrong. Everyone was so nice to me and that made me want to open up and explore what the college experience is all about ! There’s so many helpful teachers and mentors on campus and i’m really grateful for that!... Read 254 reviews

  Rating 3.57 out of 5  410 reviews

Freshman: Sweet Briar is one of the schools that you like or hate it. It's a small school where everybody knows everybody. Maybe not even for the better. There will always be people you don't like at school. And I'm not going to say that Sweet Briar doesn't have that, but if you're looking for a small school or to get to know people, this is the best place. I have a severe learning disability, and being able to have small classes and be able to talk to my professors. One-on-one helps. The accommodations department is beneficial. And the ESA committee is getting better. I really wouldn't be happier at any other school. I wish the food were better. And don't live in meta-glass if you can help it! but I love this place Holla Holla! Pink and Green forever!... Read 410 reviews
