[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 [b]rising juniors at WM.[/b] 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]

Well, they are in the sucky position that  it's been under Covid since spring of their freshman year.  My DC is in the same boat.  Had a lot of fun pre covid (including regularly staying out all night with the GPA to match--sigh.) but since Covid the campus was super strict. Off-campus a bit livelier though still limited due to Covid and off-campus is less dominant at W&M. Hopefully will be back to it's normal level of activity this coming fall.  This was true for my kid at UVA also (one year younger) but she had no pre-covid college life to compare it to!
