Uh, no. [/quote]

Np -  yes.[/quote]

They just had another suicide three weeks ago.  No.  
They need to raise salaries and increase numbers of counseling staff! Most expensive public undergrad in the entire country and they can’t even get a handle on student mental health. [/quote]

Yes, there was a suicide at W&M three weeks ago.  I know years ago (decades ago), W&M had a reputation of being #1 in number of suicides.  But in the last decade, they were NOT top for suicides.

As recently as six years ago, W&M was ranked #1 in the country for happiest students by Princeton Review.  That ranking has gone down every year and they are no longer on their top 25 list.  My oldest was at W&M from 2018-2022.  The school was very strict during Covid.  My opinion, the students during that time frame did not have the best experience, which probably caused them to drop out of the rankings.  That cohort is graduating this year or next year.  So you have an entirely new cohort that is experiencing what W&M was like before Covid.  I think W&M will rise in the happiest student rankings.  The school has a much better dining provider.  They are getting ready to open brand new dorms in the fall.  [/quote]
