Being an Anthropology Major

As far as getting into courses, some of the required Anthropology classes are extremely limited. However, the professors are excellent and very willing to work with students. Every professor has at least one book published (along with major research) and is very passionate about both their area of study and helping undergrads find their way. Get to know the professors, they have a LOT of connections (and they all write pretty awesome recommendations).

Sweet Memories

As a transfer student, I learned about the various traditions of W&M a little later than most of the students in my graduating class. However, I have learned that if I am myself, it is very easy to meet similar people and branch out. One of my favorite things to do is have coffee with my professors (outside of scheduled class time). The workload is pretty heavy, but you've just got to find the balance between work/social life and it will be one of the greatest experiences.

A Different Kind of Old School

W&M is bursting with pride. It is the second oldest school in the nation, so the traditions are pretty set in stone. There are constant renovations and the campus itself keeps getting better and better. If you're an athlete, artist, or a computer programmer, there is a place for you at W&M. There are so many activities every week, sometimes it is difficult to choose. W&M has tons of study abroad opportunities and a campus in DC where students can spend a summer or a semester.
