Everytime I see the movie Pleasantville, I think of the students that go here. Everyone here has grown up in rich, Brady Bunch families and have no idea what it's like to live a middle class life where their parents don't provide them with the Gucci shoes that they absolutely MUST have despite the poverty in this country. It's even more ironic that half the campus pretends to work towards the good of others raising money for their fraternity's or sorority's philanthropy when in reality all it is is a huge competition to see which frat or sorority is better than the other. To wrap it up... shallow, self-centered, competitive, rich preppy students whose main concerns are themselves, their money, the way others perceive them, and oh yea.. themselves.

There are a lot. To name a few, homogeneous (white, rich, preppy, New England in the South), ambitious, extremely involved, international, strong oncampus community, Greek, beautiful campus

Richmond is a beautiful school with a huge endowment. The administrators and professors are highly concerned with the student's success, resulting in close relationships. There is usually the stereotype that richmond students are rich, stuck-up overachievers, but there are a lot of people that break that stereotype.

The stereotype of Richmond is that it lacks Diversity. It can be clearly seen with the steretypical Richmond student too; White, Upper-Class, and mostly from the North Eastern States.

The the University of Richmond student body is homgeneous in nature comprised of afluent white Notherners. Richmond also is plagued by an "ivory tower" image.
