I read the positive comments of other people,Quite BrightUndecided
I read the positive comments of other people, and they are LIES. These people are probably admission officers. This school is horrible. Some of the dorms are nasty. They have mold in the ceiling, and mice that run into your room and into the minature kitchen on your floor. The food sucks, but the people in the cafeteria are nice. There is only one nice place on campus and that is Bernie's. The location is great because your right outside of Georgetown, Bethesda, and other great places. If you want your car here just forget it. You will get a ticket if you try to sneak it on campus. 16TH Street is not a good idea either. I think that is the name of the street. I did not leave because of academics, but I felt that I could get a better education somewhere else. The classes were not hard at all. Marymount used some of my books from high school. I refuse to take a class that i have already taken in high school for free. The class in high school was not even an AP class. Most of my friends said why are you leaving, but now they are looking for other places to go. My friends that graduated don't have jobs in their field. Instead they work retail jobs. The school doesn't prepare you enough for your professional career. You need education from your school and internships, but that is not possible at MU. Leaving Marymount was the best decision that I have every made. Go visit before you decide to go. VERY IMPORTANT.

Question
I should have went to Radoford when IBright
I should have went to Radoford when I had the chance! This is mostly a commuter school so if you live in the area I advice you to save you money and commute, or if you have the money get yourself an appartment! This is like a high school experience that I never thought I lived. The campus is small and dull people are nosey, expecially the male basketball team, dumb rummors fly people are constantly hating on each other due to silly misunderstandings. People hate those they don't even know or try to find the smallest things to hate on. You pretty much see the same people every day it gets pretty draining. There are no parties unless you hang with the bone head jocks. Speaking of jocks the male lacross team are assholes-not all but most are. Some of them act worse then middle school b*tches spreading rummors hating on people for the littlest things. Also the food is digusting, the bathrooms in the older dorms are a mess. Some of the professors can be incompetent so make sure you pick the right ones! Campus saftey sucks they act like rent a cops but when there is a real problem they run for the hills. My friend got a flat tire when she asked for help they wouldn't help her, "Ummm that's not are job ermm we can send the 80 year old out to help you, but there's a chance he might have a stroke walking over there." WHAT THE FCK IS AN 80 YEAR OLD DOING WORKING FOR SECURITY. Where were they when that girl was getting raped by the Lee Center? Hmmm to busy tracking down the cars without parking passes. Unless toy have a car and money there is really nothing to do, socially and in some cases academically it's a step up from high school. Oh did I mention the guys basketball team suck @ss on and off the court. They were to afraid to play the girls team for our pep rally because they knew the girls would murder them. They're also nosy busy body @ssholes who think everyone they're staring and talking about is oblivious. Makes me want to swear off guys and start munching on carpet. Well I know this isn't very well written I was just venting and speaking the truth. Unless this is your last resort, you're pretty much getting a free ride, commuting I'd advise you to reconsider!

Question
Here is the issue and it may varyBrightPsychology
Here is the issue and it may vary from person to person: The campus is small and quaint, has a deep religious back round, is located no more than 10 minetes away from the Metro center and the primary ciriculums here are excellent. However, it is to be said, a decent amount of campus oriented activities are offered but most students don't go to them, some of the people here have a tendancy of being overly sensative, many women (vastly outnumbering men 10:1) here have had sex with at least 2 guys, the offices are nortorious for being inefficient (i.e resident life personally affecting me in a bad way), a decent number of drunks make noise at night and break stuff (mainly in Berg Hall, an all male dorm). Overall, socially, if you have morals, start a relationship with the church going crowd, they are the only real people to hang out with in this case, otherwise try and see who you can try and be friends with, it varies from jocks to the lazybones on campus.
