TERRIBLE AT SPENDING YOUR MONEY: -spent 16,000 bucks on painting
eagles on the road last year that are already
pealing off
-spend Millions on building a new bball stadium.
Thatd be great if A) people actually went to the
bball games and or B) we didnt suck at bball.
-school gives out scholarships to sports kids. why? A) no
one even wathces any of the sports teams here B)
all the sports teams here suck. The ONE good team
here is rugby yet the school doesnt support them
-No
A/C in dorms. Most of the dorms here look like
homeless shelters. The dorms turn into ovens during the hotter
days of the years.
-Raised the cost of meal plans
b/c they were 'losing money and had to.' what bs!
most kids (namely girls) still have 100+ meals that they
didnt use at the end of the semester that they
paid for. Cmon now umw...
-pay gardners to cut the
grass and care for the campus's beauty like 3 times
a week. Thats a bit excessive to me. theyd save
a lotta money if they didnt have them care for
the campuses beatuy over excessively.
—>to some it up...this University
cuts corners EVERYWHERE (these are just the few i can
think of off the top of my head). You really
do 'get what you pay for' as this is one
of the cheapest schools in virginia.
'BIG BROTHER'LIKE HERE:
this schools got a way to like brain wash students
here. Every year theres always a handful of students here
who are militant about defending this school and literally work
for the school for free..its weird and i cant explain
it. Also the RA's are required to record who you
socialize with, when you goto dinner, who you eat with,
where you study, and all this other creepy stuff...how i
know? im an RA. Its funny, a student in the
class of 2015 FB group posted a link to this
sight with the bad reviews and it was IMMEDIATELY pulled
down cuz they didnt want students seeeeing it. They do
this to at the food courts. When ever you leave
a comment on the comment board/'tell us how we're doing
board' that isnt good or isnt a compliment that gets
taken down as well. This school really controls what you
see..
THE SCIENCES:
The program here is EXTREMELY
difficult yet it doesnt get the recognition it deserves. Also
many condesending and snooty teachers in this department.
SAFETY
Campus is not that safe, youll have the occasional
empty cop car to 'scare off' the bad guys parked
on campus walk.
SOCIAL LIFE:
drinking in your room...going
out to the occasional lame party (no dancing usually)..chilling with
some friends. Nothing really here..
THE STUDENTS:
youll meet
cool kids and all that (just like at any other
school) but many of the kids seem to be the
social rejects of HS and they come here and think
theyre the cool kids now cuz theyre surrounded by other
kids like them. Yeah thats fine and all but it
gets annoying when they start getting prententous and dissing like
radford, VT, odu, etc cuz at UMW 'we dont have
greek life and we dont party cuz we're gonna get
somewhere in life' attitude. Also kids say theyre very open
minded when in fact they are some of the most
liberal close minded people i have EVER met. Kids rat
on you for cheating too...kinda sad that your 'friends' are
lil gestapo.
EXTRACURRICULARS:
not bad if u get involved
with clubs..and i mean realy involved.
GREEK LIFE:
its
coming...
PARTIES:
walking distance which is nice. but
theyre usually pretty lame.
i would transfer but its so
hard to get good grades here. My friend transferred to
tech and she said it was actually easier there. Another
friend transfered here from JMU and he said this school
was harder. I got friends in 100 level classes where
the class average is 60-70%...wtf is up with that? its
a 100 level class ffs!!!
