Okay, so, I only stayed at UMW for one semester, I thought I wanted to go to a small school but this school is just WAY too small. Know what you want. I'm also a really social person who likes to go out and party! Things I liked at UMW: -the professors- willing to help you!! Very passionate and friendly. -I love liberal arts and enjoyed my classes -the campus is beautiful -how the Dean meets up with you if you are having personal problems on campus -I've met some friendly people, and supportive friends -140+ clubs -the parties are pretty chill or fun- they just don't happen a lot -the weather (especially with no AC dorms) -the two off-campus fraternities, they're really nice and throw cool parties. -you can choose to drink and smoke or not, a variety of people go to UMW. -the RAs are chil about visitors. depends who though. -Giant Productions is pretty cool and they've gotten Wale, Passion Pit, and Dev.. So concerts have been fun! -tuition is cheap for instate tuition -the dorms aren't too bad but it depends where you live. Things I disliked at UMW: -THE SIZE. -small classes -no Greek life, school spirit -everyone goes home on the weekends -Fredericksburg sucks. It's so boring and to go to places you need a car. -UMW has the Fred which is a busline in Fredericksburg but it's horrible, sketchy, and so slow. -70% girls. Literally no guys. -there's this negative and sad feeling to this place -I've had people say to me "if I wasn't on a sports team I'd transfer..." -the athletic teams; they are really exclusive. had some friends come to a party of theirs and they asked WHY they were there.... this is COLLEGE not high school. -the gym could be nicer -counselors were no help for recommending classes -the food gets old but it's not too bad. -freshman can't have a car unless it's for work or a medical emergency -spring semester class selection is horrible -student activities and administration do not throw fun events. -no school pride -CLASSES ARE HARD. You can't skip and you actually gotta do the work. So those are my reasons why I liked and disliked UMW. If you're not really social or a partier, or if you are super religious, or on a sports team... you'd like this school. This school has 4,500 people and it's not the smallest but I'm ready to go to a bigger university. I would never hate on UMW and its a great college: it's either you love it or hate it.
