By now I have been at Mary Baldwin for three years. I personally think it is a wonderful school, and just like every school, it has its downsides. The Residential College for Women is amazing and very women empowering! The schools Liberal Arts programs are amazing, and I particularly love their education program. The small class size makes it perfect for students to be able to interact with the teachers within the classroom and gain help when needed. Overall, I have had a wonderful experience at Mary Baldwin and would defiantly recommend the school to others.
Mary Baldwin University, what could I say in order to give you a picture of campus life. The students body are as diverse, as is the exceptional variety of courses offered. I believe growing up in Staunton I was in awe of the history surrounding the school.. Within the small town of Staunton, you cannot help but be in awe of such a picturesque campus, steeped in a long history of excellence. Now that it is no longer a Girls Only School, my dream has come true!
Mary Baldwin is known for being a historic campus. It's rich with history, something that makes the experience better, I believe. It recently turned over to a co-education university, which has made room for even more degree opportunities. There's a place for everyone. It's also incredibly diverse, the number one private university in VA actually. The Scholarships are huge so long as you have a high gpa and pretty good test scores. The people aren't always the best, being from the south you'd think there would be nicer people but some just don't mesh well with the southernish vibes. Almost all the staff is amazing, mainly because I worked closely with them, and other times I did met members who I'm rather glad to not encounter again.
