“Mary Washington was thePolitical Science
Mary Washington was the best experience of my life. The friends I met and the fun I had while in Fredericksburg is beyond compare. Mary Washington's faculty was incredibly helpful and still are even after graduation.

Question
“Although many students don't realize it, the UniversityQuite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
Although many students don't realize it, the University of Mary Washington has a rather good reputation, or at least it did. Recently the university has lowered its standards slightly to increase the size of the student population. Still the school's reputation has not been tarnished too much. Some programs are more well renowned than others. The school's unusual Historic Preservation major is the best of its kind in the US, however other majors like Business are significantly easier and less renowned. Overall, the school is a good place to learn. It fosters an academic atmosphere that is in some instances a detriment to the social scene, yet if your number one priority in college is to get an education UMW offers both academics and some partying for your free time. One of the biggest draws for the campus is its beauty. UMW offers many porticoed brick buildings oriented around small picturesque green areas.

Question
“I definitely made a wrong choice in chooseingQuite BrightEnglish
I definitely made a wrong choice in chooseing to attend UMW. There is absolutely no sense of "community" on campus, many of my professor's are not interested in the quality of our education, and there is NOTHING to do on campus. The food is awful, the administration is worse, and UMW is such an awful fit for anyone looking for a positive college experience. If you want to hate your life, attend UMW!
