It seems that those who post don't know how to have fun, except by drinking. Comments about the women are indicative of the disrespectful attitude found in modern music lyrics. Most troubling is the tenuous holding pattern as F&M searches for a new president. It will take several years for "he or she" to set a new tone and direction. I'll be looking elsewhere.

I will say that I wish I had transferred out and not wasted my undergraduate collegiate experience at such an empty, dull and strangely lonely place. I was depressed during my time at F & M and could not figure out why. The first few months of freshman year were OK, but within two or three months you know everyone on campus, and the social life (in the late 80s) was virtually non-existent. In fact, I think the frats were closed down--and it angered so many of my classmates that to this day they refuse to give money to the college. The frats represented the only social scene on campus. Weekends were a ghost town. There was so little to do. I am an outgoing person, but there was nothing to hold my interest. The professors were for the most part quite pompous and demanding. The Career Center was awful, catering solely to accounting majors. I wish I had transferred out, but had entered college at 17 and lacked the confidence to realize I had made a terrible choice. F & M's attitude is that something is wrong with YOU if you don't like it there. There were two professors in four years who really seemed to care about their students. The rest seemed frustrated by having to live in Lancaster, and had huge egos. The students were either spoiled upper middle class kids from wealthy suburban high schools in NY, NJ and PA or trust fund babies from Main Line prep schools. Some had drug and alcohol issues. I did make a few good friends, but the social life was absolutely terrible overall. One night my friends and I were so bored that we got in the car and drove down to Georgetown just to be able to socialize in a dynamic campus setting. Also, don't even consider F & M if you are not an accounting or pre-med student. When I was there, F & M was completely an accounting and pre-med school. There were very few interesting humanities courses, and the best ones were impossible to get into (despite it being a small school) because the seats sold out so quickly. The academic requirements were harder than those at some of the Ivies -- and the professors were notoriously inflexible. I would never send my own kids to Franklin and Marshall. I want them to be on a bustling, happy campus, at an institution that offers a wealth of interesting majors and far more diversity in the student population. College is expensive, and you only get one chance to experience it. I really regret the day I let my college guidance counselor talk me into going to F & M. I have never felt that being an F & M graduate did anything for me career-wise; any career success I have achieved has been "in spite of" F & M. I don't mean to sound too harsh, but save your dollars and attend a state university. You'll have a much better experience. Scholastic Success: C+, Faculty Accessibility: F Have a Question?

Their dean of disabilities is PART TIME. My Hebrew professor told me she did not believe in ADHD. Their writing center is staffed by students. F&M SUCKS in this regard. Probably because they're a 'wannabe' Ivy League and they don't feel like accepting ADHD/LD students because they're scared it would lower their rankings. This is the case in other wannabe Ivy Leagues. Don't go to those schools, either. Collaboration/Competitive: B, Perceived Campus Safety: F Have a Question?
