What do Mary Baldwin students do for fun?
The college and the many student organizations offer many on-campus activities during the week and on the weekends. The Program Board coordinates these activities with surrounding colleges such as Washington & Lee, Hampden-Sydney, Virginia Military Institute, and the University of Virginia, among others. Annual events, such as Apple Day, mixers, theatre, music, lectures and coffee houses offer a richness and diversity of options. Students also have access to larger cities such as Washington, D.C. (2.5 hrs), Richmond (1.75 hrs) and Roanoke (1.5 hrs) where they can enjoy shops, museums and theaters. Wintergreen and Massanutten ski resorts are both a short drive from campus. Shenandoah National Park, national forests, and recreation areas present unlimited opportunities to enjoy backpacking, hiking, rafting, canoeing, and camping.
