[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like your kid can’t go wrong.  I don’t know enough about Lewis and Clark to give an informed opinion. But, I have a kid at WM and would say:

If they want to go to grad school, don’t take out loans for WM over accepting the posse placement. It’s not a cheap school, so if you can’t comfortably full pay, strongly consider L&C.

Greek life at WM is a small part of the social scene, because it’s less intense and less exclusive than at many southern schools. This not buying the perfect wardrobe for rush, it’s all about big sports and tailgating, UAB type Greek (WM has a decent football team in a nothing D1 league and is not exactly known for sports).

LGBTQ+ is very accepted on campus. And I say that as a parent of a kid who falls into that category. W&M ranks very well on LGBTQ friendly on lists like niche and Princeton Review. Again, this isn’t a traditional southern school.

If your kid decides to give up posse for WM, apply ED. “My kid shouldn’t have any problem getting in to WM” are famous last words in NoVA.

Good luck!  Reality is, your kid will probably be happy and do very well at either school. [/quote]

I agree with all of this as the parent of a W&M grad who was not Greek and was in a large friend group with many LGBTQ+ friends.[/quote]

Another parent with similar kid also agreeing with all of this.[/quote]
