Being at the College of William and Mary is so much more than a classroom education! The professors know what the real world is like and relate all the material they teach the students to something that will truly pertain to life after college. The professors think out of the box and use methods, such as observations, research, and games that go beyond the traditional lecture hall style. William and Mary is without a doubt one of the country's best public Ivys!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The best word to describe William and Mary is Community, ask any other student and they will agree. We may not have the best football team in the country, but our students all come out to support the players and looking into the stands is a sea of yellow and green! No student at WM is the same, you will learn so much not only from your professors, but from the students as well and that is a great environment to spend 4 years in!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
William and Mary is by far one of the best public schools in the nation. This means that the education surpasses most other universities, however the pricetag isn't painful to look at! Living in Williamsburg is relatively cheap, and the school offers so many free activities that I never feel compelled to spend a lot of money while I am on campus.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
In applying to WM, be different! The admissions office is looking for a person who will surprise them, excite them, and pull at their heart strings. Write your essay about something that you know no one else in the country will write about and you will definitley distinguish yourself among the competitive applicant pool. And as always, just be yourself!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
The students at WM are a little quirky, they all have something interesting or different about themselves and are certainly not ones to just follow the heard. Students at William and Mary are driven and want to make a name for themselves on campus and after graduation, but there is no competitive air between students like you might see at other top-ranked schools. We form the best community to live and learn in!
