It's a great school. Once you find your niche in the campus it's very welcoming, and you know a lot of people! The professors are very tough, but understanding and want to see you succeed. There's been a lot of change over the past 4 years, and honestly it's made the campus even better, with more involvement from the College President, and more of his office asking what the students want to see and do with the school. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to push yourself, but make sure you're okay with a liberal arts education (you're gonna have to take a little bit of everything)! :)
I love how engaged and dedicated the professors who work at this institution are, often times professors would rather meet over a cup of coffee rather than in their office which makes it personal and more comfortable. I have also had some amazing opportunities with the Signature Centers on campus such as the Starr Center and the Center for Environment and Society. At both of these facilities I have been working on professional skills and am getting hands on experience most Undergraduates do not get. For example, I have experience in curating, archiving ,museum design and in an archaeology lab setting. I would like to see the local community show more enthusiasm to college kids, all of them say they love the students but do not have College Student friendly hours. I also would like to see longer dining hall hours.
After touring eight other schools, Washington College was stop number 9 and after that day I knew I didn't need to see another school, I was home! As someone who has seen Washington College from a variety of point of views I can honestly say there is no place better. Whether your passion is in athletics, student government, theatre or anything else on our long list of available opportunities you will find a home at WAC.
On the side of academics the professors are the ones who deserve so much credit. They will go out of their way to ensure that your are living up to your true potential. With class sizes of about 16-17 students it's hard to hide in the corner or skip class without your professor noticing. Trust me, this is a good thing. If you get the chance to visit campus be sure to swing your department of interest and talk to any of the professors there! Washington College is truly a special place.
