[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Virginia, and UMW used to be considered a much better school and was much more selective. I don’t know what happened, though I’ve always thought the lack of a football team is a problem.

As a graduate of William and MARY, I can tell you that “Mary” really throws people off.

1. They think it is a women’s college. Yes, W&M.
2. They think it is Catholic. They hear “Mary” and they think “Virgin Mary.”

Sorry to say, I think the school should become University of Fredericksburg. It’s a great school, but they need to stay afloat.[/quote]

But in VA, University of Fredericksburg would make it sound like a private school. Like University of Richmond.[/quote]

I agree they need rebranding and unfortunately can't just drop "Mary" since there's already a University of Washington, Washington University and Washington College. I'd go with UVA Fredericksburg like the UC system just names different campuses. But I don't know how that would fly with how the public Us in VA are administered.[/quote]
