College of William and Mary Top Questions

The campus at William and Mary is gorgeous.

I like it's location and high standards.

The Tribe Pride is truly unique. I've never seen any other school that is as proud and supportive of their community. There isn't even a true mascot; our Tribe 'feathers' were recently taken away because of NCAA rulings, but still there is such excitement for any competitive event. Tribe Pride!

Great school spirit. Great atmosphere, unique surrounding area. Emphasis on studying, but we still have fun.

I looked at Ivy League or Ivy-caliber schools, and the most important difference about W&M when SHOPPING for colleges was the price tag. Now, though, I recognize a humility about students here that are lacking at those Ivy League institutions; people here are really bright, but really humble and don't feel a need to flaunt it. Some go on to Wall Street or big buck careers, but many go on to the Peace Corps, TFA, Americorps--some type of way to give back to the world.

The community at my school is fantastic. Students, faculty, and staff of all backgrounds and interests are friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. My school places a big emphasis on community service as well, and we're known for our large number of international service trips and local service endeavors. I believe we have one of the largest percentages of students participating in community service in the nation.

Wm & Mary is not phony - it is a really good school (best small public nationally) .

Research opportunities and high rigor academics

Student's unparalleled commitment to service and passion/mirth for the environment around them, the genuine interest in learning, the incredible sense of community, and the access and close relationships with professors.

It's amazing here!
