Back in my glorious days at the University of Mary WashiBright
Back in my glorious days at the University of Mary Washington, I felt at home. The classes were simple, with plenty of targets for ridicule. The social scene was wonderful. A weekend did not go by where I could not find a basement filled with Solo cups and Natural Light. In addition, the people who looked for other party favors were never disappointed. The females at the school had more in common with nuns then other coeds, but with the right amount of charm and persuasion one could experience transcendent, sensual experiences.

The joy of MaryWash was the modesty. Of course we would never suggest to anyone to come here, for they would be ruining our paradise! It was not uncommon to hear the motto on the campus walk "Where the odds are good but the goods are odd!"The academics were a cinch, the nightlife was what you made of it, and unless you are blundering idiot you could get whatever it is you wanted from the school. Unless that was diversity...

Question
Apart from the plethora of problems that thisSuper BrilliantComputer Science
Apart from the plethora of problems that this school has that makes is suck, the students here are very close minded and very `highschool-esque.`

The students are very quick to judge, lack critical thinking skills and love to spread rumors. I remember in my instance i was labeled a `d-bag` cuz apparently sometimes my shorts are a little too short (just above my knees), I walk to the water fountain outside my Dorm room door with out a shirt on (its 20 ft from my door), and others have said (this literally makes no sense to me) `i just look douchey/dress douchey/ and I am kinda kinda so i kinda come off douchey.` Do you see the level of stupidity you deal with at this school when your just trying to do your own thing? Other students didnt like me either cuz I `bring girls back to my room all the time`...hmmm thats funny, at the time I had a gf for over a year and she was the only one id brought back. The worst thing is that these students LOVE to spread these rumors and students are dumb enough to believe it. hahah, its rather ironic actually...another student apparently didnt like me and thought i was `douchey` cuz i was a `player.` 1) i never talkjed to that kid before 2) i kinda liked him cuz he seemed like a nice guy 3) i had a gf and am completely loyal. And thanks to all of these haters who like to get in the way of other peoples happiness, my gf thought i was cheating on her and left me. Every other rship ive been in as well has ended similaryly b/c the students here just love to talk spit. I literally dont know what I did to get on anyones spit list. Even as I stopped talking to people in general and resorting to having fun by myself, the rumors still carry on and students continue to spread these dumb HS lies. You ever wonder why some reviews say that this school offers the `ultimate HS experience?` well now you know...it rings true, at least in my experience.As for the whole attractiveness issue atthis school...no, the girls as a whole are not all that attractive (and trust me, im NOT a shallow guy at all even though it sound it) and neither are the guys (in my opinion and so as most of the girls say).
