<p>I know it is kinda silly to ask this type of question but as an international student I have no clue on the reputation of either university whatsoever. I really want to hear your opinions, which will be appreciated!</p>
<p>Better reputation? In whose mind...the 17 year old high school kids on this board...grad school admissions...potential employers...US News and World Report...get my point? If you pick a school on the basis of how someone else feels about it, you are open for a disappointing 4 years. Go to the two schools and see which one feels better to YOU!</p>
<p>I live abroad.....
I guess you have a point.</p>
<p>U of Richmond and Villanova University are very similar. Both are equally selective and students' SAT scores are approximately equal. Both are private. However, U of Richmond is smaller (2,795 undergrad students).</p>
<p>If money matters, I would go to the one that gives me more money!!!</p>
<p>Thank you bin_1975!
Do you know which college receives more public recognization?</p>
<p>In terms of reputation, IMO both are equally good. Novavilla U is raked # 1 master university in the North. U of Richmond is ranked # 40 national LAC, which is very good.</p>
<p>So your choice would depend on your major. I would look at their web sites and compare. Also, If you do not like cold weather, go South !</p>
<p>Thank you for you suggestion. I think UR is a better match for me. I want to do Finance in college. Both schools have strong finance programs so it really comes down to which college I like more. I love UR's campus and her size. The student teacher ratio at UR is 10-1 which is relatively better than Villanova's 13-1. And their tuitions are about the same. I think I will go to UR.
Thank you again for helping me compare and contrast the two.</p>
<p>Ojin,</p>
<p>You're welcome. Good luck to you at UR. That's an excellent college! (Villanova is an excellent one too!).</p>
<p>Ojin,</p>
<p>I just found out that Villanova ranks # 13, while U of Richmond ranked # 20 among the top 50 undergraduate business schools.</p>
<p>Undergrad</a> - BSchools</p>
<p>I knew that already and I dont think that makes a huge difference between the two. what do you think?</p>
<p>I agree. Go where you like more!</p>
<p>Sounds like you already had your mind made up based on your own research...so why did you care which was more presitgious again??</p>
<p>4mygurl,</p>
<p>I think ojin just wanted to have a second opinion. It's tough because the two schools are equally excellent!</p>
<p>4mygurl, although I had learned that both schools are equally strong in my intended concentration but I wasn't sure which school I should attend. That's way I asked a question about their reputation. I wanted to go the school that has better reputation. Since bin told me that they were equally great, I thought I should go to the one that I like more.</p>
<p>Ok, I am sure bln is a pretty reliable source on that issue. So...good luck.</p>
