Washington College Reviews
However, you should probably like the small liberal arts vibe if you plan to come to WAC. The food choice isn't large, so if you have dietary concerns keep that in mind. There's a lot of opportunities out there if you take them, and there's often not as much competition. The environmental department and the humanities really shine here, and the professors are so friendly and willing to help you out.
