Richfield is as real as it gets. While it may not have as many state-of-the art facilities as you might find in more popular universities, its got a character like no other. The staff create an atmosphere as though they are going on this academic journey with you – so you never feel like a small fish in a big pond, but rather a school of fish taking on the seven seas. The lecturers are well-experienced but not intimidating, however their hands-off approach encourage each student to do the best they can without being spoon-fed. It is a magnificent, affordable experience, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to feel like they belong somewhere while having quite a free and independent student lifestyle.
