College of William and Mary Top Questions

Northerners.

The lack of entertainment outside the campus. Everything in town closes so early that it can be hard to find something to do on weekend nights.

I consider the unequal balance between social and academic life is the worst thing about my school. There is too much pressure to do well academically, which is important, but students need to have the ability to let off some steam. I believe the college should have part of the responsibility to do this because it is located in a small city so there is not much to do outside of the campus.

I can't list eveything that is bad about William & Mary in 100 words. Housing is awful. I had bad housing as a freshman, and I have worse housing this year. Classes are ridiculously hard to get into. It's too preppy and rich. Williamsburg is a horrible town because there is nothing to do. Some buildings are embarassingly out-dated and should be torn down. The only savig grace is the excellent faculty. I kind of wish I had stayed in Missouri and gone to the University of Missouri with my friends or to Washington University in St. Louis.

Extremely liberal and filled with people who do not understand the issues they protest about.

There is no guaranteed housing for upper classmen

aging facilities

The worst thing is that it is much more expensive to out-of-state students, roughly 3 times as much as in-state tuition. I was out of state, so I found it a bit off-putting that it worked that way, but not enough to change my mind about how much I loved this college.

I think that there is not enough balance between social life and academics. The school's curriculum puts way too much effort on academia that often times students get lost in work and stress and do not get the chance to grow emotionally as well as they would somewhere less stressful.

Bias in teaching. Very much focused on an atheistic worldview and thusly religion is not seen as valid at all.

The students and social life are awful. They are more clique like and stuck up than you can ever imagine. if you don't live off of daddy's money. then this isn't the school for you. Pearls, polos, yachts, and country clubs are the norm.

Some of the dorms don't have ac....and its pretty hot and muggy in williamsburg.
