[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have a similar moderate size with a significant residential component and tend to focus more on undergraduate education than other national universities.  Wake is private and W&M is public, so there is variation in cost depending on residence status.  Wake tends to have comparatively more full pay wealthy students while W&M tends more to Upper Middle/Middle class.  Wake is somewhat more "pre-professional" with over 22% majoring in Business and 8% in Communication/Journalism.  In comparison, W&M has 11% majoring in Business and does not have Communication/Journalism.  W&M has somewhat higher percentages majoring in computer, physical, and biological/life sciences.  Wake is in the ACC so it has more of a sports focus.  Wake is nearer a bigger city, but with its campus more separated.  W&M is embedded into Williamsburg.  W&M is significantly older and has more history and is still located where it was founded.  Wake was founded in the 1800s, but moved to its current campus in the 1950s.[/quote]

My son is at W&M and my daughter’s first choice was Wake but she got waitlisted. So we are pretty familiar with both schools and this is a good  comparison of some key things about them. Thx. [/quote]
