Ditto on W & M. [/quote]

Another vote for W&M. Wasn't instate option for me, so I couldn't attend, but it definitely would have been my top choice back in the day. It was in state for my kids. One went there. Visiting as a parent was a real treat for me![/quote]

+1 it was my top choice and I got in but my parents decided it was too expensive. I loved the campus and the history, and we had family in Virginia (we moved away when I was little). I went in-state to Cal Poly SLO and had a great experience (IMO Cal Poly is the perfect central coast college, not UCSB).

Toured W&M with both my kids and still loved it. Unfortunately, it wasn't the right fit for them - one went to VT and another to a LAC. LAC kid did consider it for a while.[/quote]

W & M hits that sweet spot. Small enough to feel like an LAC, public enough to avoid some of the pretentiousness of private colleges and it’s big enough where everyone can find their niche. Very nice, down-to-earth kids. Loved it when my kid visited for admitted student weekend but kid went somewhere else. [/quote]
