I graduated from MBC in 2001.  I have been reading these “ratings” and must admit that I am shocked and saddened by many of them.  Perhaps the school has changed, but this MBC sounds nothing like my MBC.

Truthfully, I was all angst-y when I was there, too.  I think most girls are at that time in their lives.  Mary Baldwin was more stringent than other schools.  We did have rules about when male visitors would enter buildings.  I hated that---at first.  Then I visited some all-male colleges and realized that I liked not waking up to drunk guys stumbling down hallways in the middle of the night.  By the time we were seniors and able to have men in the dorm at any time, we didn't want them there because we had learned that (1) having guys in the dorm is not all it's cracked up to be and (2)we had more important things to do.  Cherish those guy free moments---believe me---I have a guy around me all the time now, and it's gross!

Mary Baldwin created a sense of sisterhood between us girls.  We watched out for one another and lifted each other up when things got tough (Life lesson---guys DON'T do that).  I miss MBC so much!  I miss hanging out with my friends on the lower porch of McClung (I don't even think it's still there!) and climbing that ridiculous mountain in the freezing cold! 

I terms of education---I really feel like MBC provided me with a great education!  I entered my field of teaching with confidence and have had nothing but positive evaluations.  In fact, I got my current job simply on the mention of MBC.  The woman who hired me stated that she had seen MBC teachers before and they always demonstrated great creativity, professionalism, and knowledge in the classroom.  I interviewed for about 20 minutes before MBC came up in conversation and immediately after mentioning the school, I was hired on the spot (and I live in South Carolina, so word travels).

My best advice...know what you are looking for and see every experience as a lesson in life.  The tough times (when you have to leave your boyfriend in the car because it's 12:01AM and he's not allowed in the dorm) may be an unseen blessing and will most certainly be a great story later!

:) Good luck in your choices!
