Boy, Billy, you don't sound too optomistic at all!
Richmond doesn't suck, I just graduated from there in May and LOVED every minute. Personally, I hate VCU. I think the area is disgusting and I would NEVER walk around Richmond at night. And I come from NY! I walk around there at night all the time. (Not trying to fight with you, just saying I disagree).
UR and VCU are for TOTALLY different people. People who typically (notice I say typically) go to VCU are way more artsy that the people at UR. Those people are considered "freaky" by UR students. VCU is a city school while UR loves it's bubble! VCU kids don't like the preppy UR kids. They consider us "stuck up". On the other hand, UR is for more conservative, "preppy" (is that a good word?) kids. Most have a ton of money and nice cars and clothes (don't ask me how I wound up there!). Sports and greek life is HUGE at UR.
I went to a few fraternity parties at the VCU houses and I hated them. Not cause it was VCU, just because it was way different than what I'm comfortable with. I like the shirt and tie look that UR kids wear to tailgates and football games. I don't like the "casual" look.
Again, just stating an opinion. Richmond the city sucks. NOTHING to do after 10pm!!!!! Richmond the school is awesome. But only for a certain type of student. It's more for like the NYU crowd.
