College Prowler Take
Contrary to however much they may complain, Fummers love it here. Once they’ve found their niche, they’re the happiest little bunch of workaholics you’ll ever meet. The only regrets come from those people who expected college to be a series of protests and consciousness-raising events. You can have those experiences if you really want to, but in all probability, you’ll have to organize them. Another popular complaint is the lack of privacy in the social scene—let’s face it, F&M is small, and everyone knows everyone else’s business.
The most common F&M experience follows a pattern of coming to know the school, getting to know people, and then having your initial high hopes met with reality. After a brief stint of disillusionment and dissatisfaction (this bit is optional), you’ll come to recognize the wonders of F&M and meet the people whom you will hopefully stay close with. You’ll close out your experience having grown both academically and socially. Not a bad job for four years!

I enjoyed being in college and F&M itself was okay. I do wish that I was somewhere more liberal. I feel that the students and faculty here are not as open-minded as the school portrays them to be. |

I’m staying at F&M forever! I can’t imagine being anywhere else, and I’m counting down the moments until I can go back. |

I love it here! I wouldn’t be a tour guide here in the middle of the summer if I didn’t love it! |

I absolutely love F&M. My overall experience has been just fantastic. I have never been or felt so happy in all my life, and I’ve never been able to fit in or succeed so well before. I have great friends at F&M and amazing sorority sisters, and I don’t think that I would have been this happy at any other college I applied to. And to be honest, I hear this from most people. F&M is a great college community and I’m happy to be a part of it. |
