It pays to go to Richmond University-literally. Students speak highly of the way the school combines academic and real-world opportunities, whether that's "grant money to do summer internships" to getting paid "to do research...on a topic of my choice." These are great ways to explore career options, say students, like a sophomore program that pays "for you to go to a hotel over the weekend to learn business networking skills." Another student mentions the school covering travel to New Orleans for a week "as part of my class to learn about environmental racism," and one fondly cites their "international work experience, fully funded by the university." Locally, there are opportunities to "work with Richmond-based companies to implement skills and theories we have learned in class. For example, in Principles of Marketing, we worked with Capital One." Students also praise "a class called Benchmark where you create a product and start an actual business and have to have talks with suppliers, marketing teams, and try to truly manage a startup." Across academic programs, Students agree that professors comprise one of the school's greatest assets. As one student explains: "I love my professors and have developed close relationships with many of them. They genuinely care about me, my interests, and my career path. My professors have given me a wonderful academic experience." Between the top-notch professors and the travel and research opportunities, "the resources Richmond has are unparalleled."
