Vamom, congratulations on the multiple admissions. I have heard good things about Mary Washington. I note, however, for what it may be worth, that on **************.com, MW was rated by its students as a B-, while SU students gave it a B+ and were significantly more likely to say they made a good choice. The 4 year graduation rate at SU is 80%, while the 6 year rate at UMW is 76%.
UMW enrolls 840 freshmen, while Susquehanna is around 600. This might lead to a student being somewhat more likely to be a “big fish” and less likely to fall through the cracks at SU.

I do not have a good suggestion on how to compare academic intensity. It may depend on the major, as well. My son was very impressed with the wide range of intramural sports and other activities at SU and thought the kids looked happy and not harried.
