[quote=Anonymous]I've been impressed with my son's education at W&M thus far (2nd year student).  The grading and courses are tough, the professors generally supportive, the other students tend to be hard-working, and there are meaningful research/professional experiences available to undergraduates.  I especially like their "COLL" curriculum which is an approach to liberal arts that goes through the 4 years rather than just the first two and really focuses on developing research/writing/critical thinking.  I've seen the detailed thoughtful responses to written work from professors and they are really holding the students to a high standard.   My son has struggled but grown intellectually a lot.  He likes it there, but his friends at other schools seem to more unequivocally find college fun, which can make him jealous.  He definitely works harder. I think he has grown up more than they have but I may be biased. It strikes me (and him) as what a college should be like (i.e., high standards, primarily focused on academics, serious instruction in both liberal arts and specialized major), but I can see why some 18 year olds might not want that.
