Academics

“I am constantly impressed with the faculty here. I think when a lot of people apply to college, they look for professors at the forefront of their field, but forget to find out whether or not they’re good teachers. I have always had professors here who not...”

Academics

Although all teaching styles may not appeal to all students, most students feel that the quality of education they’re receiving at F&M is very high.

The ratio of guys to girls at F&M is about 50/50, so whichever you prefer, your game is plentiful. The girls complain that the guys are self-involved twits, and the guys complain that the girls are self-absorbed airheads, but they continue to go after each other.

It appears to be the case that the guys are dateable if you can put up with video games and backwards baseball...

Athletics

Students seem remarkably unaware of the sports scene. And although several teams at F&M have winning seasons, the relatively low profile of varsity sports on campus limits the number of spectators.

Many F&M students participate in at least one club or intramural sport. However, for those who seek them out, the sports scene thrives. One-third of the...
