Not perfect, but anHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
Not perfect, but an amazing, fulfilling undergrad experience that had me totally prepared for the rigors of grad school. Even though it is currently having problems with the co-ed situation, I highly recommend this school if you are serious about your studies and expect to go to grad school.

Question
If you're reading this my guess is you'reBrightEducation
If you're reading this my guess is you're looking at going to Randolph College and not Randolph-Macon Woman's College. That's ok. I will warn no, no... IMPLORE you as a friend not to come to Randolph College. Go somewhere else. R-MWC was the best school ever, but in the past few years it has become horrible. The administration isn't honest with the students and the admissions staff blatantly lies to perspective students. They cut entire departments with no warning, disregard promises they make, sell off the the thing that make our school special and just lie. They don't care about the students. If you come here, you have no idea what you're going to get for your money. You may want to be a French major, but they may very well cut the French program your sophomore year like they cut German, Russian, and Japanese this year. You may want to play basketball, but they may cut that right in the middle of the season like they did to field hockey this year. You may love they low student to faculty ratio, but that may suddenly become a bad thing in the eyes of the college and they'll fire professors to try and make the student to faculty ratio higher. You don't know what you're going to get for your money. Save yourself the heartache. Please, PLEASE go somewhere else. Thanks for reading.

Question
An all woman's college helped me learn toEnglish
An all woman's college helped me learn to define myself without worrying about what the boys thought. Being able to try and fail or suceed without worrying if whatever the outcome would I have a date. It gave me time to study and to form strong friendships and networks that have followed me all my life.
