Overall, UMW is a great school. It is successful in housing, dining, and academics, all of which are an important part of college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
One tip I have is to join clubs! That is a sure way to make friends here. Also, don't be afraid to talk to people sitting alone, that's how I made my closest friends here.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It gets challenging here, but they also have excellent tutoring opportunities here and speaking and writing centers to help you improve in difficult subjects.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am a Resident Assistant and we try as hard as we can to create a welcoming environment. My freshman year I felt like I was welcomed into a new home and new family.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are currently three places on campus that take the meal plan, but they are building a new facility. There are numerous options, so everyone is satisfied here.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are tons of clubs to join here at UMW. Also, we are smack dab in the middle of Fredericksburg, so there are plenty of things to do off campus. There's Historic Downtown with quaint little shops, to Central Park with the latest and most modern shops and malls. There's never a dull moment!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Tuition is a little pricey, but I definitely think you get what you pay for here. You pay a little more, but the professors here are very knowledgeable in their fields and extracurriculars are very fun here.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
We have the spirit rock is serves as a sort of billboard where the campus clubs advertise for upcoming events. I have also seen many birthday shout outs on the rock and just to say welcome back to UMW during the fall semester.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is great for Historic Preservation or History majors. Being in the middle of Fredericksburg, there is so much history. You cannot walk without touching some historical moment in time, whether it be from the Revolutionary War or the Civil War.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many to choose from! From Quidditch to Student Senate, there is a club for everybody, and they always make you feel welcome.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There is a Greek Chapter off campus, but not recognized by the school. There are about two fraternities that people can join and they do not cause any trouble. They are very respectful of everyone here at UMW.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
There are blue lights located all over campus. Also, I walk across campus from my friends' dorm and I never feel any danger. If you would like an escort, however, the police are more than willing to walk back with you and are very friendly towards you.
