Read Hundreds of Quotes from College of William & Mary Students

Read samples from the College of William & Mary guide below:

Academics

“The profs are great, in my opinion. Geology is my department, and I love it. I call all of my teachers by their first names— it’s great. We all have a picnic at the end of the year; it’s so much fun! That may not be typical, but everyone I know likes most...”

Diversity

“Superficially, diversity could improve. However, the diversity of the way people think, how they’ve grown up, their outlooks on life—definitely something that has helped me grow. We have over 300 student-run organizations on campus, some of them cultural,...”

Guys & Girls

Academics

Students adore the exceptionally committed faculty at William & Mary. Over the years it’s possible to encounter a few less-than-engaging professors, but on the whole they are completely committed to teaching and accessible to their students. The professors’ passion for their disciplines, as well as their love of teaching, leaves students with a strong connection to the faculty and the classes they teach. Class sizes are small at W&M, which makes it easy for teachers and students to bond, be it over...

Diversity

Students cite the lack of visible diversity as one of the major downsides of William & Mary. With around 80 percent of the student body being white, and the majority of those from Virginia, there isn’t much racial or social diversity. This is disturbing to some students, especially those who come from urban areas with diverse high schools. Still, it seems that others don’t seem to mind the homogeny. Students do, however, say that there is a diversity of opinion and outlook at W&M that has given them new...

Guys & Girls

Okay, so William & Mary isn’t known for its exceptionally great-looking people. It is, however, full of interesting, nice, decently good-looking guys and girls. There are complaints from both sexes about the lack of hotties, but enough people hook up or date that it really can’t be all that bad. At least students at W&M can be assured that their entire selection gets an A+ in the brains department.

Superficiality aside, guys and girls at William & Mary are great people, and are definitely worth dating. They...

Athletics

William & Mary students don’t make much of an effort to attend varsity sports games. They do participate in numerous club and intramural sports. The bottom line is that W&M is a school full of nerds; some are athletic, but a lot aren’t. There is ample opportunity for those who want athletic action to get involved in something, though.

The athletic facilities, such as the Rec Center and various fields, provide great places to stay in shape and let off steam. IM and club sports are big on campus, and students...
