[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I missing something? Isn’t [b]William and Mary known as being a great spot for kids who pride themselves for being quirky[/b]?  I find it kind of funny that quirkiness is discounted by op at William and Mary but a concern at Muhlenberg, which may not even be particularly quirky.  I also don’t understand how a kid who wants a small environment applied mostly to large schools including one with an undergrad enrollment exceeding 34,000.  In any case, op and her dd seem unlikely to be comfortable not going to the most prestigious school available so should probably chose spring start William and Mary.[/quote]

I have a kid at W&M and I don't really think W&M students as a whole are that quirky. I think they are very into academics, earnest, and generally not too artsy (though a lot of singers).  I think when they call themselves a "Twamp"  it's acknowledging that the students care about their studies a lot and can be super into some aspect of them.  W&M students don't usually have an artsy quirkiness.  When Jen Psaki was press secretary I at first didn't know she was a W&M alum, but she instantly seemed very much to me like many of the W&M alum I work with--I don't know exactly how to describe the vibe, but smart, earnest, really attentive and intense without seeming to make themselves the center of attention.  I have no idea of kids at Muhlenberg are quirky or not, but I would expect there to be more of the artsy quirkiness given the size of its theater/music dept compared to the size of the school.
