I’m a sophomore at william and mary, so hopefully I can help you out. ‘Ancient Campus’ (the Wren Building, Wren courtyard, Brafferton, sunken gardens area), is amazing!! Very historic, and quite beautiful, especially in the fall/spring. ‘New’ Campus, eh not so much in my opinion. Some people like it but it’s way too cookie cutter for me. If you’re a humanities/liberal arts major chances are most of your classes will be in Ancient Campus, if you’re a science/math major most classes will be in New Campus, and I’m the former, so I spend most of my time there.

Dorms- Well freshman dorms for the most part are pretty good. I was stuck in the Botetourt Complex which is far and away the worst freshman dorm aesthetically speaking, but too be honest it’s really not THAT bad, i didn’t mind it much–but that being said- You’d want to get barret, dupont, hunt, brown, monroe, yates (in that order IMO).

Grades- It really depends whether you’re in-state or not. I was out of state, and it’s supposedly a lot harder to get in without Virginia residency..

any questions feel free to PM me

I visited as a potential pupil and did no longer sense gentle there. It did look a very aggressive place, and that i had to attend a greater laid-lower back (and nonetheless academically rigorous) college. I did locate my appropriate tournament, no longer too a techniques away in Fredericksburg 🙂 Virginia is crammed with great colleges and universities–William and Mary is an techniques-blowing college, in spite of the shown fact that it incredibly is no longer the only techniques-blowing college. region-clever, W&M could be appropriate for somebody attracted to colonial heritage, yet you ought to truly attend yet another college and trip to historic web content for analyze. actually go searching for someplace that makes you sense such as you slot completely. I in simple terms “knew” as quickly as I went to W&M that i did no longer belong there, yet I additionally “knew” as quickly as I chanced on the college that i actually had to attend. solid success! additionally, keep in mind which you’re actually not guaranteed to any college; you may continually circulate in case you detect which you’re actually not happy with your decision. (I do have pals at W&M who’re greater effective than happy, via ways! it easily relies upon on the guy, i assume.)
