Testimonials

I initially chose to study Political Science and History however, I decided to switch majors because I felt that the Economics programme would provide me with the skills needed to work in my chosen industry.
I got a lot of support from the school to come and study here which is something I consider very important coming from a developing country (Dominican Republic).
Perhaps the strongest quality the university has is that the teachers are very approachable and accessible. I have a good working relationship with my professors which has enhanced the learning experience and the way I feel about my classes and education in general.
I would recommend students with an international background to come to Richmond, and they will have a lot of support from the administration and teachers. The key thing here is to tap into these resources to enrich your university experience in a truly unique way.
