Like every university, W&M attracts certain types of people, among them being bright, motivated, intelligent, friendly, helpful and outgoing people…it's so true that the majority of students who are involved in campus activities will praise W&M to high heaven because it IS a wonderful place for them…people who love W&M are students who aren't necessarily grade grubbers, but DO complain a lot when they get a grade that they feel they don't deserve since most people work their butts off…they also know that you don't need nightclubs, crowded streets, fashion shows, etc. to have a good college experience…i personally recommend the greek system here rather than at some large urban universities because it's low-key and a source of positive pride in addition to social prospects…

and, yeah, colonial williamsburg sucks but it's also kind of cool to be living next to living history…besides, you have everything you need on campus anyways and it's gorgeous in the fall and spring…warning: it DOES rain a lot here, ridiculous amounts in the winter another piece of advice: don't assume that you are the only student who loves it/hates it/studies blah blah blah…there are SO many kinds of people here and you're bound to find someone just like you, as corny as that sounds.
