Read 3,043 ReviewsĪlum: I had originally planned on attending an Ivy League school due to my GPA and academic background, but ended up attending UA instead: let me make it clear, NO REGRETS.
After graduation, I was able to find a job as a Graphic Designer within 3 months and I felt very prepared to complete the tasks that came with my job. I would occasionally see confederate flags, which left me feeling a bit cautious even though I didn't have any negative experiences (especially since I come from a very liberal and majority-black area). There were times though that I felt a little uncomfortable in the surrounding area of campus. I never encountered any overt racism or felt any bias against me from my fellow students and professors. As a black student, I was a little worried about attending JMU since the minority population is pretty small but I had a great experience. During my time at JMU, I was very involved in Student Ambassadors (tour guides), Madison Dance, and Alternative Breaks.

The faculty and admin prioritized their health first, while the coursework has remained rigorous. Once the pandemic hit, WashU was amongst the first half dozen schools to move online (they are now hybrid, my daughter is working from home).
It was tough, but the support of programs like Deneb Stars and the many other programs (including late night escorts for safety) allowed her to make the leap and find her feet. My daughter is gifted, but shy shy shy, and her mother is Brazilian, so VERY attached and we worried about sending her away. She had met and spoken with several faculty members before applying (Early Decision) and visited the campus, and they were so helpful and supportive it really allowed us to make a confident Early Decision. First of all she got a full ride, they removed a massive strain off of our family and did it completely and thoroughly. Sophomore: As a parent of a sophmore in Visual Arts and Writing programs, I feel so grateful she got in.
