[quote=Anonymous]We have a daughter at W&M and I think there is a solid amount of school spirit.  Whenever we visit, students are always dressed in school logoed tees and sweatshirts.  When students were allowed to attend football games (finally) last year, they had to parceled out tickets freshmen and seniors one weekend and sophomores and juniors the next.  They had a full house.  People showed up with their faces painted.  They also seem to really support each other.  Someone is in a play or a musical group and their friends all show up and bring others.  Someone plays a sport and friends show up to games.  And the students we have met are genuinely nice kids.  Also, Williamsburg is lovely and the school has really ramped up its use of their outdoor spaces since the pandemic.  So there are lots of outdoor spaces on campus and in Colonial Williamsburg that are great for studying, hanging out, exercising, etc.

I am sure UMD has lots to commend it too.  We are Virginia residents so we really focused heavily on our in state options.  One things to be aware of - the food at W&M is bad, like really bad.  For some people it’s a deal breaker.  Our kid eats out a lot and will be off campus next year with a reduced meal plan in large part bc the food is just not good.[/quote]
