Only time I heard about the school was on the show 60 Minutes. They did a piece about W&L hosting a mock convention, held every four years. It’s a simulated presidential nominating convention held by the students during early stages of the presidential primary. It said that W&L's convention has the reputation for being pretty accurate on primary results.

yes there are always the “normal” schools like oberlin columbia and wesleyan for folks like you!


Name another college with dead confederates buried on the grounds. I’ll wait.


Quite a few with slaveholder names.

Most of the top colleges in the U.S. aren't clean from the original sin of slavery or anti-black racism.


I’ll ask again. Name another college with a confederate corpse on campus.


DP. Seriously? You realize UVA has a Confederate cemetery where 1,097 Confederate soldiers are buried, right? Are you suggesting they be dug up and interred elsewhere?


They’re not in a university building. You have to admit having the corpse of Lee himself in the W&L chapel presents a situation that’s in a league of its own.


It's just remarkable how you keep moving the goalposts. Your demand: "I’ll ask again. Name another college with a confederate corpse on campus." Answer: UVA. You got your answer, you twit.


More W&L charm. If you find this appealing you will have an amazing four years. Otherwise, find someplace less snotty (with zero reason to be).


I’m not affiliated with W&L at all. But I will call out dopey posters every time. Your posts are bizarre.

I’ve lived in Asheville and toured W&L (hard pass for my kids). Thanks for the LOL. Stay weird Asheville.

Didn’t seem any different from any other LAC we visited. Seemed perfect for the DCUM demographic, and there were many such kids there when we went.

This school should be closed.

Given VA has great schools - is there anything that WL provides that is appealing to you? William and Mary is good for that LAC feel.

Most VA people are in that camp - why am I paying this much over a state school?

If you can pay that much then DCUM leans towards WASP or WASP adjacent.
I’m guessing that the appeal might actually be the lack of LAC feel. More traditional, if you get my meaning.

W&L is just a southern version of the same thing you get at Williams- middle of nowhere, outdoorsy, small liberal arts college


With the highest Greek rate in the country! Not interested, thx

When I was an obnoxious freshman at W&L, I’d meet young women at parties by asking their horse’s name, and as often as not they’d laugh and ask how I knew they had a horse.

A relative went there. Not sure why but my guess is FA! I don’t think he had a great 4 years there but it led to a lot of connections which led to a great job and he is now very wealthy.
