Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Something that is nearly tangible upon arrival at William & Mary is the love students share for their campus, their dedicated teachers, and their fellow student colleagues. The strong sense of community is what appeals to so many students who come from all over the United States (and some other countries, as well—there's a growing British population!) to feel like they have found their home away from home.

When asked if they would choose William & Mary again for their college experience if given a second chance, most students eagerly reply with a "Yes!" The College, though relatively tame and quiet, truly embodies the collegiate experience. It has a gorgeous campus with gardens equipped for lazy, Frisbee-throwing afternoons. It has devoted professors and staff who truly want students to succeed. Most importantly, it has students who have an overarching sense of pride for their school, their friends, and the young men and women William & Mary has helped them become.

Small Town

Williamsburg is basically a small tourist town lots of places to eat and shop with plenty of museums to visit. Its an interesting place, but if you prefer city life you will be bored.

Dont Be Dumb

If youre dumb, then youre going to probably get in trouble. If you dont do stupid things that probably would get you in trouble anywhere, then youll be fine.

Noise is somewhat strict though off campus.

Interesting

If you're involved in Greek life or an athlete, the school population is probably standard as far as any top university goes. There are some really beautiful people, alot of genuinely attractive ones, and some duds. Although pretty much everyone is intelligent which is nice.

Outside of those athletes and greek life however, the talent is somewhat limited.
