Fredericksburg, VA
University of Mary Washington

I think Mary Washington is a great school for someone who is into a quieter, more accessible atmosphere. Diversity is a bit of an issue, as a minority I seem to be reminded daily of my differences from the majority of my peers. There is a lot to do around campus, and the community immediately outside is nice, quiet, and relatively safe.

I love Mary Washington. It is the perfect fit for those scared to transition from high school to college because it isn't a big, scary campus. Everyone you meet is so nice and I have found friends for life. The professors I have had are always open to help students and hold regular office hours. The classes are the perfect kind of challenging. The campus activities are fun and regular; there is no doubt you would love it.

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.
