I visited. I loved. I enrolled. Well, almost. We’re still negotiating the financial aid package, but basically it’s a done deal. I’m a Richmond spider!!
The travelling sucked. My dad and I spent 27 hours in the airport/plane. Oy. But, it was worth it. According to Newsweek, the University of Richmond has the number one most beautiful campus in the country. Knowing this going in, I was not disappointed. Dogwood trees cover the campus. Greenery everywhere. A lake running right through the middle of campus with a bridge to cross. I fell in love. Studying abroad is incredibly popular among the students, and the business school is rated among the top in the nation. It has an undergraduate student body smaller than my high school, and from walking around it did not seem all that ethnically diverse, but other than that it’s perfect. Besides, graduates are there as well and there are three other colleges nearby. Also, I plan to apply for housing in Keller Hall, the international dorm. I can’t wait :)
Knowing where I’m going finally, makes the remaining schoolyear feel like a lifetime. I haven’t been home for more than six hours, and I’m ready to go back. Five more weeks of school. Camp. Then Richmond. :D
