Review of Mary Baldwin University

from Woodbridge, VA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I've been attending MBC since my Christmas break, and I would have to say that I have learned a lot. The facility is very up front and willing to help- IF you step up to the bat.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Mary Baldwin is A GREAT school, but, if you are the type of girl who likes to party then NO it is not the school for you. But, JMU is about 45 minutes away, so it's not to far from a party school if your up for a party. If you don't like parties that's great too! You can just stay on campus!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

While the freshmen dorms may not be as good as the upper clansmen, and some of the facilities are not 100% top of the line, they do the best they can to make sure you get the bang for your buck. It is a privet college- so it is expensive, but they do try to help! Our since center is getting ready to under go a $1.2 or so million dollar renovation. If you apply yourself, anything is worth the money.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you want a party, do not come here. If you do not want an ALL GIRLS SCHOOL- NO GUYS- DO NOT COME HERE. While some girls can handle the no party and all girls school, not all of them can. VISIT the campus first to see if you like it. While they do give out a good amount of aid your first year, that should not be the only reason you attend. Again, this school is not for anybody.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Girls who want to focus on SCHOOL. Girls who do not want boys interfering with school. Girls who care about the community and are ready for heavy community involvement.
