[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has the wonderful problem of having been accepted to both. He is also in at a couple of great SLACs and, with those, the question is obviously, are they worth the extra money vs a pretty similar experience at W&M. (Likely not, but he'll go to all admitted student days).

As far as "fit" goes, to [i]me[/i], it is pretty obvious that W&M is a better fit. He doesn't care about the Greek scene and isn't especially drawn to the big sports scene. He is a sports fan and athletic, so that might change, but more than that he is very driven, intellectual, and (I expect) more of an intense small group of friends than big partier type. But, the way he looks at it, the social fit is low on the priority list. He's really just thinking what will be better for grad school or jobs after. Likely physics major.

Any advice?[/quote]

My DS is thriving at W&M, but he is not a physics major. He has a couple of close friends at UVA, and those friendships are thriving, too. I agree with your son; whatever's best for his long-term career goals. He will do fine with either choice. Great problem to have! [/quote]
