I am from North Carolina, and I chose W&M over UNC-CH. W&M has excellent academics, with profs who, in my experience, have been helpful and engaging. The work is extremely difficult, and there are NO EASY COURSES here. That, said, if you do your work and study hard, and also participate a little in classes, you should be fine.

Many students here are very involved in clubs, organizations, sports, etc. which is refreshing, given our generation's stigma of being complacent.

The social scene is hit-or-miss, depending on who you are. For instance, I have friends who party 4-5 nights a week and still make acceptable grades, and I have friends who party maybe 1 night a week. (I go out about 2-3 nights a week.) The social life here is what you make of it, and it mostly depends on how much weight you place on your studies.

Overall, W&M is an excellent school with many opportunities, both academic and extracurricular. Life here is what you make of it, as it is at any college. My favorite parts are the great professors/academics, the generally down-to-earth people here, the clubs, and the positive spirit of the place.

I LOVE William and Mary. Yes, you have to work hard here, and yes sometimes it seems totally overwhelming to be surrounded by such brilliant people, but it is incredibly exciting too. I couldn't be happier in my choice to come here. The campus really embraces individuality. Being unique is what makes someone interesting and is rewarded. At the end of the day, we are all part of the same family. GO TRIBE!

This college rocks! I feel that I received an excellent education, one that taught me how to think on my feet. I very much enjoyed the shift from the shear rote memorization of high school to the analytically-based method of thought taught at the college. In addition, there were like a gazillion clubs and organizations to join. I personally rarely had a dull weekend. All the people here are friendly, authentic and smart. Best of all, I met my soon to be husband here :)
