[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from WM about 10 years ago and thought I'd chime in.

- Yes, lots of people are very nerdy and it's not a party school, but it's a really community-based environment. Because there's not a lot to do in Williamsburg, everyone hangs out with other students, goes to similar parties and sees each other regularly. I loved that about WM and don't think I would like to have gone to a school in a city where people have 20+ bars to go to. That being said, those students who like to party will probably complain about the lack of a party scene often which can wear on some people. I will say, that I returned recently and looks like there are a ton of cool breweries and restaurants that have popped up in the area since i've been there.
- Getting good grades is very tough. I was a very hard-working student (as are many of my friends) and we all worked our butt off..that being said, I feel like every WM student has at least one C on their transcript if they took anything remotely challenging. In my field, that did not impact my job prospects, but I would definitely factor that in if grades matter for med school admission or employers. 
- The professors are amazing. In my 4 years, I maybe had one class taught by a TA. Every professor I met was incredibly kind and went above and beyond for us students. I owe my career to a WM professor and I will never forget that.

I had a great experience but college is different for everyone. Definitely visit and have your DC talk to as many current students as possible.
