Washington College Top Questions

I think the worst thing about Washington College is how so few have heard of it! Not to be a cheese or anything, but it's kind of frustrating when I tell people I go there and they say, "Oh, Washington and Lee University? Mary Washington University? Washington University?" No no no! I said "Washington College! Goose Nation!" I mean, I get it. It's located in the middle of nowhere (Chestertown, MD) on the Eastern Shore. Usually the only people who have heard of it are people from the Delmarva area. When I do encounter people who know the school, it is one of the best feelings ever!
