[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]William and Mary is like a SLAC.  A lot of kids don't want that anymore.  They want a city school or a big D1 school with football.

What William and Mary does have going for it is the cost of attendance for Virgina residents.

I don't really get the slac comparison. It's got 7k undergrads, D1 athletics, and a number of different undergraduate schools. The people who compare it to a slac are the boosters who think only slacs can have good academics [/quote]

It's not a typical state school or flagship environment.  SLAC might not be the 100% comparison, but [b]W&M is a lot more like small or medium-sized privates than it is like a state university. [/b] Not better or worse, but different.

No, it's not.   :roll: [/quote]

Maybe not, but the athletic conference W&M is moving into (football for now) includes Colgate, Villanonova, Georgetown, Lehigh, etc. with no other public schools.[/quote]
