[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would love to hear more about W&M's DFAS. Planning to attend this year with my daughter. Accepted ED, so not about making a decision, but have heard such great things and she is excited to go in April. [/quote]

It’s just super hyped up and fun!
Lots of events to choose from and everyone was happy to be there. Tons of freebies and opportunity to get a photo of your daughter with her name on the W&M banner. Seems like every info session just further solidified and validated her ED decision. Have honesty never seen her happier than when she is walking in that beautiful campus in Williamsburg. They have a clubs fair and the current students are extremely welcoming! Then they end the day with a fun admitted students mixer on the football field and an event for parents at the top of the stadium.
My DD also ED’d and met her roommate at DFAS who ED’d too (they chatted on Instagram first then arranged to meet in person at DFAS). Now they are halfway through with first year and could not have been a better fit. She absolutely loves W&M!

This makes me sad that my son didn't attend DFAS. He had a conflict (which he could have gotten out of but didn't want to), and he'd already mentally committed to VT in the 6 weeks between getting his VT EA decision and W&M RD acceptance. I regret not "forcing" him to attend (or at least to revisit on another day), but I thought if I did, he'd go in with a bad attitude and not give it a chance. Part of me thinks he would have liked the people and campus and maybe chosen it (he claimed not to remember a lot from his campus visit the year prior). The other part of me suspects he'd have found it too small & too "liberal artsy" for a kid who doesn't love to write and is happy taking mostly STEM courses. Thanks for letting me air my grievances, lol.[/quote]
