[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least in my experience, the only people who don't know about W&M are my friends from overseas. Whenever I mention DD goes there, the response is always, "wow, she must be really smart!" I say that not because I'm a huge W&M fan (I'm neutral on it) but because I've genuinely been surprised at the universally positive response.

DD is a junior who rags on W&M constantly (according to her, W'burg is boring, [b]the food is awful[/b], dorms are small, administration is inept, etc., etc.). However, she will also admit to having amazing profs, small and engaging classes, and lots of opportunities to participate in cool projects related to her major. After a rocky first year, she's found a wonderful friend group, is on the board of several clubs, and is the happiest I've seen her since elementary school.

As a parent, I happen to like that W'burg is boring and I love that the train is easy, cheap, and means I rarely have to deal with traffic on 95. I like that the school is relatively small without being claustrophobic. The students I've met there are smart and interesting and all the alums I know are lovely people. I dislike the high tuition compared to other VA publics, but appreciate that it's still a bargain overall. Most of all, I like that my kid is happy. [/quote]

I visited a few weeks ago, and while I really liked W&M, the food did leave room for improvement, IMHO.[/quote]
