Learning is a relative term- it is said that it is impossible to stop learning. This is especially true at William and Mary. Learning isn't limited to the classroom. Walking from one’s dorm room to the cafeteria, a William and Mary student can learn about the history of America by passing various colonial buildings. For example, the Brafferton Building, built in 1723 was one of the first Indian schools and it is right in the middle of William and Mary campus. Students are constantly in a learning environment - whether in an academic building or in a freshman dorm. Students learn how to become adults, to test their limits, and to grow intellectually.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
William and Mary has the perfect environment. Not only is the campus absolutely beautiful, but the students and faculty are friendly. It has the perfect combination of a learning and social environment. Friends greet each other on their way to class and it is easy to meet new people daily. There is an area on the campus called the Terrace where students can sit and enjoy lunch, drink their morning coffee, or study and socialize. Since it is outside, and in the center of campus, it is impossible not to see friends and peers passing by. On a sunny day, it is the perfect place to lounge. Another great thing about William and Mary is that it has all four seasons. Students can experience the beauty of spring, the warm summer, leaves changing color in the fall, and snow in the winter. The night life is active and it is an all-around good time with endless activities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
For in-state students, William and Mary is such a bargain! It was recognized by a national magazine as one of the leading public universities. It is even affordable for out-of-state students since it is a public school. Students have the opportunity to take large lecture classes or small classes (15 people or less). Students will be able to know their professors personally and can participate in research.
