[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]William & Mary fits the size and as a boy should be a good chance there. Does he think it would not fit the "low-stress" requirement?[/quote]

W&M is widely known as one of the most high stress and no fun universities in the nation[/quote]

I hear this cliche a lot, but never from students who attend. I guess kids sort themselves into appropriate buckets. Yes, if you’re looking for a “Roll Tide” experience, W&M isn’t your school. [/quote]

I hear it from my daughter’s two best friends who are rising juniors at WM. They weren’t looking for a party school, but they complain that all there is to do is see the old town and eat and everyone is in bed by 11. [/quote]

Poor babies. My DD and her friends had a great time at WM, and WM's rate of alumni giving reflects that.[/quote]

What you need to understand is that *is* fun for a lot of students. Plenty of young adults are thrilled to hang out in the dorm, watch movies with their friends, explore historic Williamsburg, dine out at cute little restaurants...it’s only the kids that are looking to party or tailgate that think that a school like that would be boring. [/quote]

Amen. This is exactly what my DD is looking for. Are there other schools where wanting to go out to eat and then hangout in a group is not seen as weird? [/quote]
