[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TC is just fabulous in every respect -- far better in every respect than our former privates, and I mean it.

Please, please give some details: what do you like? What's better?[/quote]

I think one of the great advantages is the wealth of course offerings the school has. You can see the list of available courses in the Program of Studies:

There's also a ton of extra-curricular activities, both athletic and non-athletic. You can get more information on that by contact the school.

Note that the PP who posted an article talking about fights was referring to an article from several years ago. They've current students and parents I speak with say that problem was dealt with quite effectively, and the the hallways are calm and orderly. I'm not going to say there are never fights, of course there are at this school or any school, but it just doesn't appear to be an issue.

Regarding the transition from private to public and whether there is a "Yale or jail" or "divide" between the students, I think that rather than having us anonymous posters trade comments, perhaps we might all benefit from reading the graduation speech made by last years valedictorian, who himself transferred into TC Williams after private school. His speech directly touches on both points.

This sums it up: "And its definitely not the athletic program considering we can't even play home games at night. "[/quote]
