r/UMW

Hi! I'm 22F and I'm transferring to UMW this fall semester and am looking for a good dorm near my classes. As a Classics Major, I'm assuming most of my classes will be at James Farmer Hall.

I haven't gotten to go to the campus yet to explore, work and life keep getting in the way and I won't be able to go till after my housing paperwork needs to be in so I was wondering which hall is best? I would prefer to be with people around my age and suite style bathroom; I don't care if it's co-ed or not. Is there a particular hall that would be best suited to me?

Hello everyone! I am transferring to UMW this fall after getting my associates degree at germanna and I have had my mind set on English for a while. Recently, however I had a realization that I don’t think English will set me on track to the right type of career Id like to go for. I am interested in film and media and envisioned myself in that industry but I always thought going for some type of writing degree would help me towards that. I also have a passion for comedy and would love to generally enter the entertainment industry in general. Started looking into communications and digital studies and it seems a little more aligned with my career goals. Any thoughts on this major? Other opportunities I can go for with it? Are the professors good? Any general input and information would be helpful. I am super curious!

I know it’s best to meet people in clubs but is it easy to find stuff to do?
