[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Mary Washington grad (and UVA medical school grad), I find this thread to be ridiculous.

Look, we are incredibly lucky that there are so many schools in Virginia where a student can get in-state tuition and an excellent education. I thrived at Mary Washington and really found my niche. Having attended UVA for medical school, I am pretty certain I wouldn't have enjoyed it as an undergrad. I needed a smaller liberal arts type experience and I had no interest in greek life or sports, etc. But other people do! And that's okay! There is literally a fit for almost everyone in the state. We are so lucky to have these options, people.[/quote]

Amen to this.  I'm another Mary Washington grad, and also a Georgetown Law grad.  My four years at Mary Washington were the most memorable, fun, happy days of my early adulthood.  I don't think I'd be the person I am today had I not gone there.  I chose it for exactly the reasons you list, and was thrilled to have it as an option.

The people who look down on small colleges like UMW simply because they're lesser known, or aren't the big state flagships, aren't people I'd especially want to know.[/quote]

I’m another proud Mary Washington grad and I also agree that my 4 years there were among the happiest of my life. It was absolutely the right fit for me. I later went to grad school at Va Tech, and while my time at Tech was important for my career, I know I wouldn’t have liked it as an undergrad. I needed a smaller campus experience.[/quote]
