Majors/programs are limited, your views/beliefs will be vehemently attacked, and just overall violent opposition ESPECIALLY in the online community.

I have NEVER seen such a vicious online community until I came to this school.

It doesn't surprise me as the school has a 75% acceptance rate as they are desperate for students. This is a safety school for most students; and of the 75% accepted only about 20% attend here. Of those attending, it feels like a a good 30-40% will either drop out or transfer out.

do not attend this school or waste money applying.

Reading the other reviews on this school reminds me why this school sucks. All of your friends transfer out, the students who stay are weird, the ResLife professional staff is rude and incompetent.

"I feel so unwelcome here. I'm generally an easy person to get along with and I have not met a single person who has been polite or anything like that. I've tried to make friends but the people here have no interest in talking to you if you don't drink or party and I do neither of these. I really dislike it and I don't see why everyone thinks its so great here."

"I HATE this school. almost everyone I know has or is transferring, and the people here are so rude. all my friends who have transferred are so much happier. I think I'm going to try to transfer before this friday's deadline? I can't wait to get out of here..."

""I reached out for help to multiple departments because I am unhappy here, but I want to be happy here. I keep getting ignored and my thoughts devalued. Asking for help and receiving none has made me hate being here more. I'm leaving and I don't even have anyone to tell because nobody has tried to make me feel welcome here.""

""I hate the fact that this school has too much white and not enough black. Where is the so called diversity that UMW promises and advertises. I am not hating, just voicing out an observation that I have made in my three and a half years on this campus. And yes am black and proud,as a matter of fact,am African and proud!""

"Everyone here judges me because I am overweight, and I hate it. I work out for over an hour everyday, and everyone still looks at me like it is contagious. I am just like everyone else here, and I don't deserve to be laughed at while I walk across campus."

"I feel like I don't have any friends here. I talk to people in my classes, and we are friendly outside of class, but no one ever invites me to hangout with them outside of class. I know that I am overweight and a commuter, so that doesn't help, but I promise I am a fun person to be around. I wish someone would give me a chance."

"As a heterosexual, I have experienced tons of prejudice and shunning from the gender-neutral community members despite many attempts to befriend or simply be polite to them. Acceptance and compassion needs to go both ways."

"Almost every day, I seriously regret coming to this school. All of my "friends" take advantage of me, treat me like a therapist instead of an equal, and finally ignore me while they move on to other people. I'm a magnet for basket cases and I can't stand any of the people that I hang out with. I wish that I could find friends who would treat me decently. I feel so alone."

"I used to love being at UMW but freshman year, people I thought I trusted as friends, harassed me via the internet and ruined the whole experience for me. Worst thing about it? I found out a year later that even my RA had known what they were doing and thought it was funny. Thanks UMW for being so kind and awesome ;) #sarcasm"

"This is my first semester here and I'm a pretty friendly person but here I feel so shy. I've made like 3 friends. Sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it here."

"I'm the kid in class that smiles and pretends everything is ok. I'm actually completely broken inside and want nothing more than to be away from this place. This will never be home."

"The only good thing about commuting to school is that I get to go home and pretend I have friends at college."

""I honestly think that from what I've seen that the freshmen class is filled with really shallow and unintelligent kids"" Thu, 07 Mar 2013 10:28:38 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/VA/MWC_comments.html http://www.studentsreview.com/VA/MWC_comments.html There mostly 2 kinds of kids at this school.

Social outcasts/hipsters/kids with no social skills and are really awkward and or Really really dumb kids.

The average SAT for incoming frosh this past year, which was published in the school news paper (and they ommitted one of the sections cuz it was so bad), was apx a 1500/2400. That is really really sad.

There's plenty more wrong other than that. this is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

seriously...do NOT go to this school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see people being more content if they spent all 4 years here, but unless you're a live-in student that spent all 4 years a UMW, you WILL come across problems with management and faculty at this school. The college will not accept OVER a semester of credits from my former college and was very rude and snotty to me about why they wouldn't. They think they have the reputation of a Harvard, but the simple fact is that nobody has heard of UMW, so what makes them think employers will have. I a very displeased with my time spent at UWM and I feel like at least half of my time spent at college has been a complete waste. On top of that, there is rarely anything to do outside of homework on the campus. Thu, 01 Nov 2012 09:43:11 GMT http://www.studentsreview.com/VA/MWC_comments.html
