[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W&M. If it weren’t a state school offering the incentive of in-state tuition, I couldn’t tell you what it stands for or what makes it different from any other LAC ranked 50+ on USNWR. It’s living on an old reputation, bolstered by its in-state status, and isn’t sure where it wants to take itself outside of trying to fundraise as much as possible.  For what, exactly, except bragging rights?  No one knows.[/quote]

Totally disagree. Fantastic undergraduate teaching (#4), small classes, gorgeous campus  and consistently ranked as one of the happiest college campuses around. And clearly committed to its students since it rolled back the previously announced tuition increases when Covid struck. Find me a lot of other schools without gigantic endowments that did the same (and a lot of Ivies and other schools with gigantic endowments continued to hike prices, including UVA which has an endowment that's eight times as large).[/quote]

Happiest campus? I've heard most of the students there commit suicide. Pressure-cooker academic environment and dreadful social life. Try W&L if you want a good LAC in VA.[/quote]
