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.

Honor Code Serves as Best Security

Not only have I never felt unsafe, I have never locked my door and don't know many people who do on a regular basis. If you are on campus students will respect your belongings and privacy. As you venture off campus Williamsburg is a very safe place with the occasional petty crime, but rarely anything too serious. Additionally campus police are some of the friendliest employees of the College and genuinely want to ensure your safety without going on power trips by chasing down kids who are just having fun.

Greek Life at College of William & Mary

Greek Life

I think the Greek life is good at William and Mary. Joining as a Sophomore I often felt that Greek life would offer more parties and events to participate in, I don't think you have to be Greek to have a great time but I do think it makes a difference because an organization is planning events for you to go to when you are Greek.
