[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated from WM about 10 years ago and thought I'd chime in.

- Yes, lots of people are very nerdy and it's not a party school, but it's a really community-based environment. Because there's not a lot to do in Williamsburg, everyone hangs out with other students, goes to similar parties and sees each other regularly. I loved that about WM and don't think I would like to have gone to a school in a city where people have 20+ bars to go to. That being said, those students who like to party will probably complain about the lack of a party scene often which can wear on some people. I will say, that I returned recently and looks like there are a ton of cool breweries and restaurants that have popped up in the area since i've been there.
- Getting good grades is very tough. I was a very hard-working student (as are many of my friends) and we all worked our butt off..that being said, I feel like every WM student has at least one C on their transcript if they took anything remotely challenging. In my field, that did not impact my job prospects, but I would definitely factor that in if grades matter for med school admission or employers. 
- The professors are amazing. In my 4 years, I maybe had one class taught by a TA. Every professor I met was incredibly kind and went above and beyond for us students. I owe my career to a WM professor and I will never forget that.

I had a great experience but college is different for everyone. Definitely visit and have your DC talk to as many current students as possible.

Can I ask what the point is of mentioning "cool breweries?" I mean, as a craft beer loving dad, that's good news for me. But my kid won't be 21 until the summer before her senior year in college. And likely won't drink beer anyway, to spite her dad. :)[/quote]
