"All women's college. They have a few maintenance issues, and the cafeteria is not good, according to my daughter."
"Where do I start… ok, before thanksgiving they didn’t even have water or hot water to run a kitchen for a college!!! The hood system in the kitchen doesn’t work, which is a safety and a health issue… not only is it unsafe for staff, but for the students… when the chemicals go up, they must come down… straight in… the students food… I am a disgruntle employee and I am calling out everyone… scrub your refrigerators… there is black mold… fix your exhaust fans in the kitchen… stop serving gluten-free pizzas when they are not… and ZACK!!! You’re lucky I don’t call you out!!! Your girl would be mad!!! Just saying!!! Should I keep going?!?!?"

"Sweet Briar is a fine educational institution. I've worked here for 20 years. The grounds are beautiful. The professors, faculty, and staff go all out for the students. For an all girls school it competes with coed schools for students. Come join our community. Give Sweet Briar College a try, you wont want to leave."
