Wake Forest lists William & Mary as a peer institution every year and vice versa.
Yeah Wake and W&M very much see themselves as peers (at least until W&M becomes R1 next fall)


The students at WFU are not like the students at William & Mary. WFU students are not as nerdy as those attending W&M.

I agree but despite small differences somehow every single year the admin at both of these places choose eachother as peers.



They both have all the best qualities of a lac in a larger package.
Wake also has P5 sports.

+1 to the bolded
What is P5?


P5 was the "Power 5" athletic conferences: SEC, ACC, Big10, Big12, and Pac-12. The Pac-12 only has two remaining member schools, so now the grouping of power conference is called P4.

PP was referencing the sports atmosphere at Wake, an ACC member school.

That's not what peer institution means


Please share your definition of "peer institutions".

Also, I was unaware that this thread was about "peer institutions"; I thought that it was about campus cultures & similar students.

In this case, peer institutions means colleges that have been submitted by Wake to be in a comparison group used in the department of education's IPEDS. So basically institutions they think they should be compared to.

You can see the data points that are compared to Wake's chosen peers: https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/institution-profile/199847

I mean Wake and W&M have pretty heavy application overlap, so while the cultures might be different at both there's obviously some common interest

Northwestern University and Notre Dame are not similar in most respects.

Northwestern is better compared to U Penn and Duke.

NP. This is happening because OP used : P without a space. Making tongue out emoji. My email doesn’t auto populate emojis so hopefully OP doesn’t have that issue.
