William & Mary Reviews
I also love the diversity of the campus. Everyone I have met here are super friendly and passionate about something. There is very little competitiveness, we all work together and struggle together. The campus itself is beautiful (although a little run down), and Williamsburg is an awesome college town. There is soooo much good food that is cheap and open very late. Weather is rainy, so don’t forget your ponchos and duck boots :D
The only two downsides of William and Mary I can think of are scheduling and housing prices.Overall, I have really enjoyed my time at so far. Go Pride!
At this point the only thing keeping W&M relevant is its academic reputation, but if you want a good overall college experience, look elsewhere. There are plenty of other options in VA (UVA, Tech, UofR, GMU) that are comparable in academics while harboring healthier and better environments for students' social, mental, and physical wellbeing. Do yourself a favor and think twice before you go here.
(Side note: this is not the school for pursuing the arts. Humanities, yes. Music, theatre, or other performing arts, definitely not.)
