[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from the Deep South and my kid looked at William and Mary. It didn’t feel so southern to us. We got a more mid-Atlantic suburban vibe from it. It’s all relative I guess. [/quote]

W&M is really a unique school since it’s set in a “Disneyland for history” neighborhood, teeny tiny, and attracts a certain type of student (think: theater camp/dungeons and dragons/etc).

It’s more progressive than any other southern school, and it lacks the state university rah! rah! vibe.

When we were there for a high school sports thing and enjoying a Friday night stroll around Williamsburg, we noticed some college kids walking around (plus some runners). We couldn’t imagine what students do for fun there. My kid ruled it immediately based on that factor (and landed at a SEC school). [/quote]

The grads I know who are now about 30 yrs old are nothing like you described. Maybe not super preppy-- but not geeky and very smart. They are attorneys, in medical school, physical therapists, teachers, in ministry, etc.[/quote]
