Piniel

if you want a four college experience do not go here, people are very clicky and i lot of people then to trnasfer out. If you are not extreverted, this school is great for you. If you like going home on the weekends, this school is great for you. If you like to just watch movies and have like three friends then this school is great for you. But if you want greek life, go out and have amazing weekends, I repeat do not come here unless you have a car and a friend at vcu to visit.

Well rounded, challanging academics balanced with campus and community involvement in a friendly and supportive environment.

Over-priced, plain, and boring.

Jessica

Small, you can talk to your professors, learn from them outide of class, and ask questions in class!

Carly

Overall, I have enjoyed my experience here and feel that its many extracirriculars create a unique and stimulating environment. I wish, however, that there was a slightly more active social life here on campus and that the town of Fredericksburg worked to integrate us more fully--especially downtown where shops often close early.

Evan

Very small, with nothing to do but study and drink on the weekends.

Patrick

It is a small liberal arts school with an emphasis on academically rigorus courses.

Gina

U. Mary Washington is a place for people looking for a liberal arts education, and in that regard it is pretty well rounded; the campus is spread out and beautiful and the people are for the most part very friendly, professors are as well very approachable.

Alison

It is a gorgeous, scenic, liberal campus that always has unique, different people walking around comfortably and proud.

Elizabeth

I was very disappointed. I haven't learned much of anything or experienced a "college experience." The professors are extremely unhelpful and you are required to take an absurd amount of ridiculous classes. One I had to take told you how to make the sounds of consonants and vowels. We also had to howl daily in class. I'm not kidding.

Amber

A hub for social and educational strengthening.

Sarah

Small public school with a friendly campus body in a rather sleepy town... not a college or super college friendly town. Very small endowment fund which often seems to limit us in comparison to our fellow but larger state schools. Administration is ok... from personal experiance find them un-helpful and extremely frustrating to deal with. Food sucks, campus is very pretty. Lots of extracurricular clubs but almost no weekend life... very boring. Mostly good senior professors but also lots of bad adjunct prof. Do an overnight stay before you decide... even if its your 1st choice.. wich I had.
