I just recently graduated from Washington College and wanted to leave my thoughts after four years.
In short, it has its ups and downs. Starting with the positives, parts of Chestertown are beautiful in all seasons and worth visiting. The town is full of interesting shops and characters that help keep student life interesting. The campus itself is nice. The professors here are engaging and interesting people, which helps with the small class size.
However, there have been some administrative issues. Part of the Board of Governors (who de facto run the college) operate the college from a financial standpoint with austere measures, which results in crucial budget cuts to student organizations. Furthermore, the town has had issues with racists harassing students of color, and the administration has only given lukewarm responses. This has been especially pronounced the last couple years, leaving a tense and dull environment to some.
There is potential growth at WC, but know what's up.

I have only been at Washington College for one semester and it was online. I have gone on two overnight visits, however, and I've fallen in love with the school. Great academics, small school feel with solid athletics. I hope we go back to in person classes soon!
The campus is small, which gives me an opportunity to meet with professors one on one. I enjoy the campus, the organizations and clubs. My experience here at Washington College is great, I love meeting new people and actually getting involved in activities. I learned different interests in people, this school and the town. I wish the school can bring black sororities on campus, more black people so it can be diverse and change the food. Otherwise, I like my school!
