The University of Richmond, a private liberal arts university located on the periphery of Virginia's capital city, has brought student living to the community since its founding in 1813 as a seminary for the Baptist Church. Adapting throughout its history, the storied university was used as a hospital for Confederate troops during the American Civil War, and later as a barracks for the Union Army. Today, the nonsectarian institution is a highly selective school that offers a wide variety of academic concentrations, and the opportunity for student living in the exciting city of Richmond. Located in a calm, suburban setting on the western edge of the city, the University of Richmond campus offers a comfortable setting and easy access to the capital's downtown region. Student housing is available both on campus, and in off campus housing in the school's surrounding neighborhoods, located just north of the James River.

Academic concentrations are offered through the School of Arts and Sciences, Robins School of Business, Jepson School of Leadership Studies, School of Law and School of Professional and Continuing Studies.
