Internet 😔

How do you cope with the internet on campus? Do other people struggle as much as I do? My friends here say they don't have as many issues as I do, but I find that some buildings are just dead zones. Overall it's like fine, and residence halls have great WiFi for me but like eduroam and UMW connections suck.

Study Recruitment: Academic Sexual Misconduct

Hello! My name is Sarah Silberman, I am a Criminology and Criminal Justice Doctoral Candidate at the University of Maryland who researches sexual violence, and I am currently recruiting for an interview study on sexual misconduct in academia. For IRB approval, please see see my department page here: https://ccjs.umd.edu/gradprofile/silberman/sarah. The goal of this study is to better understand the impact of academic sexual misconduct on graduate students in the greater-Washington DC area. This study is seeking diverse voices on this topic, and I am hoping to speak with people who are currently in academia, those who are planning on leaving, and those who have already left.

If you or someone you know who experienced academic sexual misconduct: 1) as a graduate student 2) in the greater-Washington DC area 3) between 2011 and now and 4) is interested in participating in a 1.5 - 2 hour interview, please fill out the interest form here: tinyurl.com/asmneardc

Does UMW give admission decisions early at all?

I applied early admission for November 15th a few weeks ago. I’m just wondering if anyone ever got their decision before the deadline or how long after it took them. Thanks!

Honest thoughts about this college?

I’m a senior in HS I’ve gotten some pretty conflicting opinions about this uni that has me confused some saying the people are weird and other reasons it’s bad while others say the Schools great the campus looks pretty, the tuition promise would probably save me financially with my financial problems, and I’ve heard it’s pretty accepting for lgbt which is good but the reviews are so vastly different from people I asked so I want to know some peoples honest opinions about this school And one more thing if there’s any trans students here as well could you tell me about you’re experience

Edit: one more thing I forgot to add how are the dorms there I haven’t found many good pictures

Work Study Help?

Hi, guys, I'm setting up an interview for a student employment position (which is supposed to reduce $1250 off what I need to pay) but I'm confused on a few things - when receiving the pay, do you give the allotted amount each semester or at the end of the year? Where do you pay it to? Etc... I'm so lost lmfao 😭😭😭 and the FAQ on the site is no help.

Interested in Historic Preservation

Next year I plan on transferring to UMW and was interested in majoring in historic preservation! I've heard that UMW has a fantastic program, so I just wanted to know if anyone here has any experience studying H.P. at the school and what it is like, or if there are any alumni that can share what their experience post graduation looks like in the world of historic preservation. I plan on obtaining the GIS certificate as well because GIS seems super interesting, and also seems like it is used quite a bit in historic preservation, so if anyone has any insight on that or if they've gone into the GIS field after following a similar route, I'd love to hear. Thanks!

Dorm essentials

So it’s my first year as an upperclassman and I’ll be situated in Arrington Hall. If anyone has lived in that building, what are some good essentials to buy so I can be prepared for the school year? I’ve never lived on a campus before and want to make sure I’m ready before the end of August.

Good food places? Also question about food delivery

Hiya, I'll be starting at UMW this fall and was hoping to get some recommendations for some good off-campus dining spots. I've heard the farmers market is popular but would appreciate a few more suggestions. Also, I was wondering about the policy on food delivery services like DoorDash. I've heard it wasn't allowed this year at some colleges due to security concerns—is that the case here as well?

Summer sublease

Hey guys! Similar to a post I saw here the other week, I have an internship in the Fredericksburg area from late May -- early August and would like to figure out a sublease if possible. Something covering the months of June and July would be ideal, so if you know anyone who's interested in renting/subletting a place please lmk!

Choices

Completely hypothetical because I haven’t gotten accepted to either, but weighing options between GMU and UMW for a communications degree. Any thoughts?

Is anyone here in the cyber security program? If so, how is it?

Looking at UMW and CNU, not sure if one has a notably stronger or weaker program or not

Why did you choose UMW?

Right now I'm really stuck in-between UMW and CNU, and can't decide which. I plan on studying cybersecurity and I love the size of each school, and their campuses. They both seem like great schools and I'd like to hear directly from some students why you actually chose to go here. (Bonus points if you're doing Cybersec/comp sci, or if you were considering CNU as well)

Groups

Is there good groups to be a part of at UMW? Deciding between GMU and UMW. Student life and groups definitely help in that decision.

Hello fellow college students. I will be interning in the Fredericksburg area this summer and am looking for short term housing. I plan to be in Fredericksburg from early May through early August. Not sure how many UMW students live off campus but if anyone has a full-year lease signed but won't be in Fredericksburg this summer send me a PM. I am looking to sublease. Single bedroom/studio preferred. Thanks!

As a transfer, what gpa do I need?

The last time I was in college was almost twenty years ago and I ended up with a 2.97 gpa because I was burnt out. I graduated high school a year early with a 4.33 gpa. I’d love to get into the environmental science program. Does anyone know what the lowest gpa is that UMW will take for a transfer student? Thank you.

Update, I got accepted!!!

History or Historic Preservation major?

I am hoping to pursue some sort of museum, library, or archival related job in the future so I was wondering which would be the better option. If anyone here has taken either courses I would be grateful for some input.

​

I would assume that both at umw are great options as I've heard its highly rated for history.
