<p>What do you consider a "better" school between Trinity College and Richmond?</p>
<p>Also, would you pick Richmond over Franklin and Marshall or Dickinson? What advantages would you have going to one of the PA schools?</p>
<p>They’re close enough that I wouldn’t bother making the distinction. I’d choose the one that feel most comfortable at. All of them (Trinity, Richmond, F&M, and Dickinson) are very very good schools and you’ll get a great education at any of them.</p>
<p>that’s an intriguing comparison. I think they are probably comparable academically; Trinity may have a slight edge in the sciences. They both have very attractive campuses with Gothic flourishes. I think the choice may boil down to what you are expecting in terms of location. I’d say, unless you are looking for your typical, isolated LAC social scene with a campus “bubble”, that Hartford has the edge; it’s just a more bustling city. And, even if Richmond did have the same live-music and theater scene that Hartford has, you would still need a car to get to them because unlike Hartford, Richmond is really just a series of suburban malls with little or no public transportation.</p>
<p>thanks for the inputs. </p>
<p>john is the city of Richmond still alive? I know greek life is popular which is something I am interested in. Is this the primary source of parties?</p>
<p>Also, how do you compare Richmond’s Business school to Villanova? In terms of ranking they are 11 and 12 but does one have a significant edge over the other?</p>
<p>Downtown Richmond is okay. I can definitely see going there on a quiet date or showing the parents around. I just don’t think it’s a destination for events which require major parking. That’s why the malls still rule, even for just going to the movies.</p>
<p>Sorry, I can’t help you with the business school; I just don’t know that much about it.</p>
