The setting is gorgeous: right on the water. Free access to boating.

Went to the open house on a Saturday in September, it was a perfect, beautiful, 80 degree day and NO students were outside at water. Didn't even student hanging outside the dorms enjoying the day. Do they all leave on the weekends?

Absolutely but nobody wants to hang out at the docks during open house/admitted students day to be gawked at by a bunch of parents and high school students. There are more private beach spots on the other side of campus behind Historic St. Mary's City.

This is true. Lots of small beaches to hang out away from campus

What time were you on campus? Lots of schools are kind of quiet on weekend mornings/early afternoon (kids sleep in and emerge from dorms later).
