Trinity U vs U of Richmond (neighborhood, good schools, university)

[ojin]

I have narrowed down my college list to these two colleges. Is anyone willing to compare and contrast these two colleges? If you think one of them is better than the other, please explain. Thanks

Your opinion is appreciated!
p.s I am an international student and I have not visited either shcool.

U of R's campus is beautiful and it's a well respected school.

Yes, I would choose U of R.
University of Richmond was one my choices for college but I could not attend due to some issues which im still a tad bit bitter about.

But....simply put, Univeristy of Richmond is a great school but its name also holds weight which could be very benefitial later in life (in search of career, or post-graduate studies, etc)

Actually, Trinity is ranked 34 and Uof R is 40 of liberal art school in the US News World Report. They both carry weight and are well respected. If you plan on living in the Northeast after college..trinity will carry more weight. If you plan on living DC or south....UofR will carry more weight.

They are VERY similar campuses. Both are within 2 hours of major cities. One is Northeast and one is south. Very similar kind of students (both have lots of students from MA., NJ. & NY). I do think Uof R is more beautiful, I think it is in a nicer quality of neighborhood.

If you can't visit...the weather may be a factor. Up north you get beautiful falls and lots of snow (which is either good or bad...I like to ski...so pretty good). The south...nicer weather, milder winters.

I don't know your major....so one school might be better in that specific field.

Good Luck....both are good schools.
