[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academic rigor- Williams and Mary has a killer workload. Colby is more balanced and supportive. Good teaching at both.

Campus life- midsized university vs small residential LAC. W&M students don't seem as satisfied. Not a great quality of life.

Social life/students: Nerdy and quirky vibe at W&M. Preppy, environmentally passionate athletes at Colby.

Reputation- Colby I hold to slightly higher regard. It's a NESCAC so a little Ivy with connections to Williams, Amherst, Tufts, etc. W&M is good too. Colby had a 13% acceptance rate this year with Ivy level academic stats, so they deem keen to climb up.[/quote]

Your  comments about William and Mary are wrong in each regard, and it seems like you have an ax to grind.  Princeton Review, for instance, ranked William and Mary high in terms of student happiness.  The vibe is not limited to what you describe. Plenty of “preppy” and environmentally passionate people at William and Mary, if that’s your thing.  No one would confuse Colby with Williams and the other schools you mention  They are far superior to Colby.[/quote]
