[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you attended the school or even been to the campus? The average rent in the whole city does not matter.

My post has been specifically about the walkable area adjacent to campus, where most students would congregate if it was not so expensive cause - you know - college students tend not to have cars (and freshmen/sophomore actually can't get parking on campus regardless). The restaurants and shops there are extremely expensive and cater to tourists and wealthy retirees that live in Williamsburg. The area is a tourist destination because of Colonial Williamsburg. The rest of the area near campus consists of 3 restaurant/delis/bars total. 
The comparison is to most college towns, such as UVA and even Virginia Tech, that have a walkable center right outside the university where a lot of students gather and afford to eat at. Williamsburg does not have that. It's a terrible college town by any standard as soon as you set a foot outside of campus. It's essentially a dead town.

So many students have cars and simply drive themselves to local places which are cheap once you leave the very small historic area. Your hate says more about you than Williamsburg. [/quote]
Freshmen and sophomores aren't allowed to have cars on campus, and no, not everyone has a car. Local places are cheap but far away and un-walkable, and the bus only comes every hour.
Again, this is criticism of the college town, not hate. You seem to be weirdly sensitive to any criticism of Williamsburg. It's a terrible college town, even when compared to Blacksburg/Charlottesville which aren't the best college towns in the nation either, which further shows how terrible of a college town Williamsburg is. Don't give bad information to others based on personal sensitivity. [/quote]
