Accepted EA! Super excited, but I haven’t toured yet. I’m from New England and worried VA will be too “Southern” for me…any advice?
Take a look at Student Profile for the Class of 2025 at UR Admission’s website, 45% come from the New England + Mid-Atlantic states (excluding Virginia). I am not sure what you mean by "too ‘Southern’ ", but with those numbers you are likely to find people just like you. When we visited in August the tour guide told us there is a heavy NY and NJ presence on campus.
Our S is a sophomore at Richmond. We are from an NYC suburb and the school is definitely not too southern. Part of the appeal for Richmond was to get a little out of our region but not too far out. Being from New England would not be an issue in going to Richmond IMO.
Same boat for us deferred from Villanova EA
( brother is a junior there too) got into Richmond 
crazy year !
