[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you may be willing go lay for a "name brand" school where your kid might have sn inferior educational experience due to large class sizes, teaching by TAs and nkt profs rather than a quality experience at a lesser kniwn school like MW?  [/quote]

Anyone you truly believes that MW offers a superior educational experience to some 'brand name" school should choose Mary Washington - it's easier to get into and less expensive.

I personally think the rankings (especially USNWS) are pretty indicative of the relative quality of the educational experience, but if you are convinced you know better go for it.  [/quote]

So glad people like you do not go to Mary Washington.  Stick to your "name brand" schools since you obviously place way too much weight on rankings and prestige.  Mary Washington is full of students who place far more emphasis on the things that really matter:  quality of life, access to professors, and excellent academics.  [/quote]

And of course we all know that "name brand" schools simply do not offer the quality of life of Fredericksburg, VA nor access to professors and excellent academics of MW.

I wonder if pp has ever been to another school. [/quote]

Not sure which PP you're referring to, but I transferred [b]to [/b]Mary Washington from Penn State; a name-brand school if ever there was one, and a place I was so happy to get out of.  I then went onto another name-brand school for grad; Georgetown.  Perhaps you've heard of it?  Still never had a better experience than the years I spent at Mary Washington.  Sorry if that somehow rankles you.[/quote]

Late to this party.  What are you people really arguing about?  I don't think anyone could argue that UMW is especially hard to get into, compared to a lot of other schools, but isn't what really matters what happens after people arrive on campus?  Many smaller schools really love their students in a way you won't find at larger, big name schools. [/quote]
