 | | | This school is so backwards its not even funny. In regards to the neutral comment from the compsci major, yes...that is a fairly accurate interpretation of the student body at UMW to put it bluntly. Most of the students here are just sheep and dont actually think for themselves and the worst part is, its hard to trust people here. Why? Many of the students here, although claiming to be so open minded and what not, are really not very accepting of other peoples lifestyles. They'll rat you out for drugs, drinking, cheating, or anything that is deemed 'immoral' etc. Even your 'friends' will do it. Idk what it is...its very big brother here (as someone else already said) and the school like brain washes the students to be this way..i cant explain it. Other things that make this school bad: 1) cant spend money properly 2) Residence Life.
1) Someone else already posted some of the silly ways this school spends money. For example, Resident Assistants (this is a student job) are PAID to work. However, the school spends thousands of dollars at the end of the year for a formal banquet for them (gotta feed 100+ people, the food, the waiters/waitresses, cooks, utilities, etc). Not to mention to give the RA's custom made wine glasses. How about instead of doing all this for the RA's which GET PAID TO WORK ANYWAYS you spend that money to fix the shoddy looking dorms. 2) dont even get me started here. They have NO sense of accountability on themselves. ResLife is like a lil tyranny of its own. Dont believe me? try working for them. YOu make a mistake...your fired, they make a mistake no one cares (and believe me they make a LOT of mistakes). For example this year at the banquet they awarded a select group of RA's for being competent. So does that mean the rest of the RA's (90 others or so) are incompetent. If a student worker made that mistake, they'd be fired, i GUARANTEE that. They fire you for the dumbest reasons and use 'perception' as their reasoning over presenting actual facts for why the person was layed off. DO NOT GOTO THIS SCHOOL. THE TOUR GUIDES ESPECIALLY LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH (cuz they're little sheep)AND MAKE THIS SCHOOL TO BE ALRIGHT OR GOOD WHEN IT IS NOT!!!! | Preparedness: -, Reputation: - | | | |

| Bright | | This is the school where all the losers/unmotivated Virginians go to. Basically, people here are content going to a very mediocre school, and living a mediocre life. The extremely high acceptance rate fills this school with the really weird kids you knew in high school. You see many types of disabled, challenged, people here, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but still man... Social life is OK. Fortunately, I lived a privileged life, and I have experienced awesome parties (before UMW), but when I come here, to see these kids dressed in sweat pants and t-shirts they got for free, telling me about these "awesome" parties in their shitty 200 a month rented apartments, I truly want to shake my head sadly. Classes are pretty great though. I have learned a lot and meet some great teachers. I love the small class sizes in most of the courses. There are a few horrid teachers, but I`m sure that's true with a lot of schools of this caliber.I guess I have come to understand that not everyone can have my motivations. Some people are content living a truly mediocre life. I guess the world needs people like that. I have had to make weekend end trips to nyc to relieve my self of the hole that is fburg, and this school. Thankfully, I will be transferring either to WM or UVa next semester, and I know I will be more content at a school that actually rejects retards, who contribute nothing to society, except their 2.0 GPA and low motivations in life. | Faculty Accessibility: C+, Education Quality: F | | | |

| Quite Bright | I really love this school and I'm happy to have spent my last four years here. It's really easy to get to know people here and most of my friendships have been lasting. I just had a pot luck dinner with my friends from freshman year and while we may not see each other as often we are still very close. There are plenty of parties here to go to and they are generally open to everyone. While the parties may not be as large or as crazy as those at a larger school with good Greek life, they are still fun and give you something to look forward to each weekend. The bars downtown are nice because they're within walking distance of the campus and you usually see a lot of your friends/classmates out so it's easy to meet new people. As for the classes, people in them are pretty friendly and are always willing to help you out if you need it. The professors really do go above and beyond when it comes to helping answer your questions and explain difficult subject matter during their office hours. There are very few professors here that I disliked, for the most part they are all wonderful and I feel like I really benefited from taking their class. I definitely recommend this school! | Useful Schoolwork: A+, Education Quality: B- | | | |
