horrible. i left years ago and graduated at a school where life existed. the profs at my now-graduated school were amazing and made an impact on my life. i made a nice group of close friends that i will have forever. everything where i went, umw was not…umw is dull, not diverse, no social life( and i put in a great deal of effort to make it work) . the only good thing is the appearance of campus. as someone from new england , i sought a new experience only to find sameness and every stereotype fulfilled about the south. staff was mostly unhelpful ( some of which were really rude) …i am mostly a very spirited, sociable and fun person, my time at umw made me very depressed to the point where i got help for it until transferring. …at umw you exist , you do not live. please, do yourself a favor, don't apply or transfer.

i realize that there is a new mini town being built but that will take years to complete if that. transferring was a risk for sure, and the adjustment to a new environment proved to be a test of my character but i was eternally more at peace doing so.
