There is the stereotype of rich and privileged vs everyday joe. However, last year some VCU fan came on here and bragged about how it took an average of 7 years to graduate from VCU, as if this were a positive. I speculated that with the generous financial aid Richmond provides along with students generally graduating in four years, it may actually be cheaper for many people to attend Richmond instead of VCU.

In fact, according to US News and World report the average VCU student graduates with about $10,000 more debt than the average Richmond student, mostly due to Richmond's ability to meet 100% of demonstrated need for their students, something which VCU is unable or unwilling to do. What this means is the less well off your family is financially the better deal Richmond becomes over VCU.

According to the local press, they have a diversity problem as well. Not as diverse a student body as they brag about. Also recent article that overall graduation rate is in the 50% - 60% range. UR has upped it's diversity in recent years and doesn't really fit the stereotype anymore.

VCU fan here. It's nice to have a rival in sports. It makes watching even better. But when people start to insert social status , gender , race , and hate in general into the matter it goes beyond what sports are all about. VCU / Richmond fans should celebrate the rivalry but kill the rest of the off court noise. After all these are 18-23 year old young men playing a sport to entertain us, not soldiers going off to war.

Believe what you wanna believe brother. It's all good.
That will work for everybody Biz but freely admit part of the most fun in watching college basketball is seeing genuine smiles on the faces of the players...................not from belittling someone else but from pure joy at a play going the way intended......................

In fact, according to US News and World report the average VCU student graduates with about $10,000 more debt than the average Richmond student, mostly due to VCU's inability to graduate its students in less than 6 years; an oversaturation of the job market for skateboard instructors and skinny jeans models; and that nasty drug habit. What this means is the less well off your family is financially the better deal Richmond becomes over VCU.

FTFY.

The game should be really competitive. UR's offense is its strength and VCU defense is it's strength. VCU's bench is pretty descent , but I'm not too sure about UR's. It could come down to bench play when its all said and done.

It would be really funny to copy this post and paste it on the VCU boards, maybe replace VCU fan with Richmond fan.

I wonder if "descent" was a Freudian slip.

It appears I should have gone to vcu, although I do have a 401k. It's down 30% since the start of the new year. Thanks China.
 
lol. yeah, me too. I don't exactly fit that version of a UR stereotype though I am from the NE and do have a 401k. don't care about expensive cars though. stopped wearing a watch when phones added that feature. don't need a cane ... yet.
