College Tour: Mary Washington

Either Mary Washington College, or University of Mary Washington. Saw both signs.

Great place to visit in the spring when the cherry blossoms are out. MWC is a small, 4000 student, liberal arts college. Beautiful setting. All buildings are Greek Revival. The tour guides, loved the school. (Of course, they don't get tour guides for prospective students who don't love the school.) MWC made an excellent impression. No. 4 liked it.

Rating: Behind William and Mary, tied with GMU and JMU.

Downside. The school is adjacent to the Fredericksburg Battlefield park (the school is on part of the battlefield). We didn't have time to visit the park.
