Though UR is incredibly expensive on paper, the financial aid office offers outstanding awards and other options. After considering all scholarships, loans, and other forms of aid, this school was a more sound financial choice for me than a state school that was initially a quarter of Richmond's price. Also, the money that the school brings in goes to very good use, a Nobel Prize winner was hosted this past year, out living situation is amazing, and the food is DELICIOUS! read full review
