[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain more specifically why W&M is a good fit for a "nerdy" student? Is it just because the population tends to be highly studious? Or are there other factors? [/quote] It is a combination of very bright students plus a love for learning and an intellectually vibrant culture: it is "cool" to like your classes and want to learn. It is cool to study, cool to be involved in research or on-campus intellectual clubs. It is called the quintessential public ivy for a reason: lots of small seminar classes where students participate, engaged approachable professors, intellectual vitality prominent in the culture, etc: just like the ivies. But with slightly less selective admissions. The general personality of the majority of WM students overlaps highly with the personalities at the Uchicago and most ivies: ie nerd-forward but fun too.
