[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not OP.  An acquaintance mentioned to us that there is a (preppy?) sailing culture and if you aren't into the water activities, you'll be out of place.  Can anyone speak to that?[/quote]

My DD graduated from St. Mary's in 2021 and I can definitely say that the culture is anything but "preppy". The campus revolves around the waterfront but most students don't sail (though the sailing classes are definitely popular). There are paddle boards and kayaks the students can use but mostly they just like to hang out on the docks or have bonfires along the river. My impression is that it is a very inclusive, accepting, and kind place. Since there is no Greek life, the students have parties and activities for the whole campus. My DD wasn't much of a partier but she loved going to the all-campus parties and really missed them during the Covid times. There is a really nice community feeling there. Most students live on campus all 4 years and there was lots happening on campus on the weekends. It is definitely small and relatively remote so it isn't a school for everyone. But, it really isn't that remote (tons of shopping a 20 minute car or shuttle ride away) and that helps keep everyone on campus and involved in activities and performances. She really got to know her professors and had some great internships.
