Students at the University of Mary Washington definitely learn a lot. There are about 4,000 students total in the entire school, so over 900 students in each graduating class. It is so beneficial going to a school that is smaller because classes are smaller, making it more comfortable to participate in class and ask questions. Professors also know who you are: you are not seen as just a number to them.

    Mary Washington is a public university that feels like a small private school. The campus is beautiful and cozy, although administration seems to allocate money to the wrong areas of improving campus. Everyone is more or less friendly and welcoming.

    Mary Washington is a wonderful, small, liberal arts school. Academics are challenging, but most professors are engaging and very helpful. You must seek out people to have a life outside of class, however.

    This is a great school if you are looking for the small town feel. It is full of eager students, helpful professors, and many neighbors going on a morning jog or walking their dog. The best part is the chalk art all over campus; confessions, updates, and things that just make you laugh.

    It has a beautiful campus and is conveniently located in the Fredericksburg town area. UMW has a great athletic complex. Coach (girl's soccer) is really nice.

    A great liberal arts school with a small class ratio, classes taught by actual professors, and people who actually care about how you do in school.
