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.

Post office lockers

I’m having trouble getting into my locker at the post office. Are these things just locked to the public from now on or is this just a Labor Day weekend thing?

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!

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.

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.

Willard or Virginia Hall?

Working on ranking dorm choices for the housing agreement. I want a first year dorm with hall bathrooms so the only options are Willard or Virginia Hall. Which one is better, or is there any difference? Have both been recently renovated?

Coursicle has a group chat for every class at UMW now

Hey everyone, this is Joe, one of the co-founders of Coursicle. I wanted to let everyone know that we just launched Coursicle Chat, which is basically a group chat for every class. We launched at a handful of schools last semester and the response was solid so we decided to roll it out further. It's a very new product, so would love any feedback you have!

Here's a link: https://www.coursicle.com/umw/

Here's a screenshot of our growth since after we launched at more schools if you're curious: https://imgur.com/a/s8IhVeZ
