<p>I just finished up my first year at a Comm. College, and I'm having trouble deciding on where to transfer. I visited UVa recently and I really liked it. UMW is one I have yet to visit. I also really enjoy swimming, and if I went to UMW I could swim varsity there, whereas at UVa I would only be able to swim club. I plan on majoring in biology. I'd really like some opinions please.</p>
<p>Are you instate for VA? For cost reasons alone, that would be the deciding factor for me. Both schools are fantastic options. My husband is a U. of Wiss, Madison grad and my son is heading to UVa this fall. I think you really need to visit UW if you can. Academically, both are so good that it’s just a matter of fit in my opinion (and money! less debt would be the tie breaker).</p>
<p>What school is UMW? Is that Mary Washington?</p>
<p>Are you instate for these schools?</p>
<p>You’re a bio major…what do you plan on doing with that?</p>
<p>Are they both equally affordable?</p>
<p>I just saw on the UVa threads that you mean U. of Mary Washington vs. UVa! Btw. the two, I would definitely say UVa.</p>
