Mary Washington Observation Report

As I sat in the lobby of the newly built Anderson Center at the University of Mary Washington, I eagerly awaited for my college tour to begin. The tour took me through different academic, athletic, and residential buildings. I must say the campus was very immaculate, everything felt as if I were at home. There was no doubt in my mind that I was at a top notch place.
