Campus Safety @ William & Mary

William & Mary is a fairly safe campus. Overall campus crime is very low. The students overwhelmingly adhere to the campus honor code and thefts are very minimal. It is common to leave your computer lying around the library in the morning and find it in the same position later in the evening. There have been a few rare cases of personal theft but they often only include bicycle theft. In regard to personal safety, William & Mary organizations such as Campus Escort and Steer Clear do an excellent job providing a safe transportation program for students during the nighttime hours. Additionally, campus police are excellent at responding swiftly to any incidents. I give William & Mary a solid B+ grade.

Great Education, Lousy Grades

I love the education. It's amazing. The professors are phenomenal and really care about what they're teaching. It would be the perfect school were it not for the painful grade deflation.
