The University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia

Wow, this place is beautiful

Drive through U of R, and you’ll feel a touch of Hogwarts. The campus’s beautiful stone buildings and bucolic setting make it a whole different experience for the RVA visitor. The university is known for its stellar business, law and leadership studies, and its liberal arts programs aren’t too shabby either. U of R is also a major visitor attraction, since it hosts high culture performances year ‘round. Another attraction: the Richmond Spiders, friendly rivals of the VCU Rams.
