A University of Richmond senior was the victim of an extreme domestic violence case in December 2005.

I have to side with Carmody on this one in saying that Lee's editorial is repulsive, not so much for her rudeness towards an uncomfortable topic, but for her pure ignorance of the bigger issue -- the pervasiveness of mental illness on campus including eating disorders (which are not contingent only to "5-foot-7 and 100 pound" girls, but affect both men and women of varying sizes and personalities) but also notably depression and chronic anxiety.
I won't check myself into Counseling and Psychological Services just yet, but I won't be surprised if I need to come January. I, along with many other juniors studying abroad, should be prepared to go slightly insane upon returning to the University of Richmond. Don't get me wrong — I love Richmond. I love America. I love Panera and Wal-Mart and Dunkin Donuts and baseball. But I don't know that I am fully prepared for what so many juniors have gone through during the past: the reverse culture shock after studying abroad.

Your experience at this university is what you make of it. There are some things that you get used to; there are other things that you learn to avoid. And if you ever get outside of the bubble, there are some things about this university that you learn to appreciate. Adapted from the ubiquitous "25 Random Things About Me" Facebook lists, below is a list of observations, complaints and general (college) life lessons unique to the home of the Richmond Spiders:

In the past few years at the University of Richmond, an average of 26 students each year went to CAPS to deal with grief.

President Edward Ayers is preparing to lead this university at a time when it's rapidly evolving. With this in mind, we urge Ayers to first address a variety of our concerns. First, students are suffering from over-programming and tremendous stress. Visits to counseling services are at an all-time high. We're tired and overworked. A combination of driven students and a surplus of opportunities has resulted in over-involvement. That's to be expected when so many of us came here with outstanding resumes and seemed determined to accomplish the same thing — if not more — in college. If we're so committed to doing well in our classes, how can we find time to evaluate and appreciate what we've learned?
