The listing was based on questionnaires sent to administrators and a cross-section of students.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Washington is a good place to spend four years \u201cbecause it is a strong community of socially conscious and academically focused students,\u201d the guide quotes a UMW senior as saying.<\/p>\n<p>Says another: \u201cI never imagined that I would find such a highly engaged and compassionate set of professors my first year of college.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The publication lists UMW\u2019s most popular programs, including historic preservation, biology, business administration, English, psychology and political science. It touts the success of UMW Athletics, particularly men\u2019s swimming and women\u2019s volleyball, in the Capital Athletic Conference, where it has won more championships than all other members combined.<\/p>\n<p>Student quotes highlight the perks of the recently opened University Center and tout the efforts of the James Farmer Multicultural Center in bringing diverse cultures together on the UMW campus. Students also gave the quality of life at Mary Washington four out of five stars, with a senior recognizing the charm of Fredericksburg as a contributing factor.<\/p>\n<p>Small and friendly, nearby Fredericksburg \u201chas a relaxed social atmosphere. Students are always hanging out downtown at coffee shops or by the Rappahannock River on nice days,\u201d the student said. Another added that undergrads \u201care connected and feel like a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Compiled annually under the direction of Edward B. Fiske, former education editor of The New York Times, the Fiske Guide is recognized as a leading source of information for college-bound students and their parents.
