[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD graduated from SMCM 2 years ago. Loved the small beautiful campus and her time there. It's only 90 minutes to DC and plenty of shopping within driving/shuttle distance. The school’s location on the river is a major draw for the students. You have to want a small liberal arts school. Campus life centers on the docks and the river. Very nice students and easy to get to know your professors.  DD had internships and got involved with research. Still in touch with professors and lots of alum return each year for alumni weekend. [/quote]

NP. I’m curious if your DD had any concerns about the remoteness prior to attending.

I suppose I’m trying to figure out how much a remote location *actually* matters to an enrolled student, vs how much they expect it will. So much of college life is centered on campus, and campuses tend to be vibrant places no matter their setting. I can imagine prospective students expecting it to matter far more than it actually turns out to. [/quote]

dp I also want to add if you are used to living near DC it will be a big adjustment.  [/quote]

NP. For my DMV daughter, it was not so much a big adjustment as a literal breath of fresh air. She loves it there. Loves the location, the size, the professors, the activities. I get why some prospective students would find it too remote, and that's understandable, but for others it is a perfect fit. She was not worried at all about the remoteness, worth it for the water and dock. Car is definitely helpful, just to get a break from cafeteria food, although their food is quite good.[/quote]

What year is she in? [/quote]
