Fredericksburg, VA
University of Mary Washington

Personally, I enjoy the school tremendously. I came from out of state and did not know a single person when I first stepped foot on campus. In my first two years, however, I have made some friends that I think will be there my whole life. I also play on the baseball team at the university and have made some memories I will never forget and will always cherish. The classes are challenging but rewarding, the professors are accessible, caring, and care about their students and what they are teaching, and the facilities could not be any better. This fall (2018) I will be going into my junior year and if these next two years are anything like my first two, then I am in for some of the best and most rewarding times of my life.

The University of Mary Washington is my home away from home, to say the least. It’s a wonderful campus, as well as a wonderful community and there are so many options to explore for what to do academically, as well as recreationally. I will always find refuge in the University of Mary Washington.

The University of Mary Washington is a small, but great school. It is highly diverse, and the students are intellectual and active in everything from school clubs to other outside extracurricular activities. The professors are competent and willing to challenge you in order to make you a better student. The campus itself is beautiful in every season and is very well maintained. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and inclusive. I could not ask for a better atmosphere to be in to pursue my degree.

I truly love my school! It has a few flaws but everything does. The size is great and I love the openness/inclusiveness of the student body. Overall, the facilities are nice (except for Goolrick gym:). The food is one of the main flaws but in the scheme of things that is a very small issue.

I love the university of Mary Washington. It is a beautiful school, with the just the right amount of students in the student body. My class sizes are the perfect size where the professors get to know the students and the students gets to know the professors which enhances the learning experience. this was the perfect school for me and I wouldn't of wanted to further my education anywhere else. I love the small school vibes and love all university faculty, they are always so kind ad always willing to help!

The University of Mary Washington is it's own best kept secret. It has the best professors and campus life, which not a lot of people know about. If you first enter Fredericksburg, you do not see a whole lot, but once you get to UMW its indescribable. Luckily, I'll be able to describe it. UMW has a sense of mannerism that you cannot find anywhere else. The aura of UMW is safe and welcoming, once you step on campus, you feel as if you're at home.

My experience so far has been great and welcoming. The size of the school allows teachers to focus more on how the students are doing than just lecturing the whole time. I think this school will really challenge me and allow me to explore my options especially since I'm going in undeclared. This school will allow me to take my general education courses and other courses that might interest me in the future and help me discover a major that fits me.

The University of Mary Washington is a great place to learn and grow in character. The campus is gorgeous, the professors are usually nice and helpful, there's a good selection of classes, and a great selection of clubs and activities. UMW may not have a football team or a party scene, but it has what matters in the long run: a good education.

Mary Washington is a campus that truly provides you with a sense of beloning. Due to the small class size you are able to connect with your porfessors on a personal level. They constantly ensure you are doing everything you can to secure the best future possible. Your peers are kind and encouraging and make you feel as if you belong. College should be a place you feel safe and secure at. I have found that at the University of Mary Washignton. I thank the staff for ensuring these are four fabulous years of my life. They have helped shape me into the person I need to be in order to meet with success in the real world.
