[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another parent of an interested junior here. Lots of comments along the lines of “not a party school” and “not much to do in Williamsburg” - my kid is not a partier but I would like to think of him enjoying himself in college so would love to hear what are some common socializing options - eg, are there a lot of school-sponsored performances, do kids frequently go to the movies, are intramurals popular, is there a big weekend board game culture, etc. Thanks!

I posted above about the career center.

My DS is a senior at W&M.  He's in a fraternity.  He likes hanging out with a group of friends, drinking beer and watching sports.  He and his friends attend all the football games and basketball games.  They gather to watch professional and other college sports on TV.   Even before he was 21, some of the "bars" let underage kids in (I think they do wristbands or hand stamps for 21 and older.)  He'll go to the local bars with friends to socialize and - watch sports.

He's very active in a club sport.  In addition to the practices and competitions, the club does some community service projects and social events.  They will go out to dinner together to a place like Chipotle.  Right before winter break, they had a pot luck dinner and "yankee" gift swap.

His fraternity plays alot of intramural sports both male and coed.  They will team up with a sorority to create a coed team.

There is a club fair in the fall - there may be one in the spring as well.

My DS does not do much away from campus (other than the bars/restaurants he can walk to.)  I think he went to one movie his freshman year.  The college usually has a Busch Gardens day - they take a bus to the amusement park and students get discounted tickets.

No, W&M does not have a wild, "Animal House" style frat scene.  As someone above said, it appeals to a certain type of student.  My DS LOVES W&M.  [/quote]
