Hi!! If anyone is ever going to Virginia Tech or near there for a weekend, I'd love to tag along. I'll pay! Let me know:)

I applied for Spring transfer. It looks like a great school academically but im worried about the social component.

hi i’m not the best at writing what would be the easiest coll 150 to take this spring?

Is there anywhere on campus to park with the parking pass besides the parking garage? I spend 30-45 minutes a day trying to find a spot and it’s just ridiculous, so I’m wondering if there’s anywhere else I can park for long periods of time where I don’t have to pay (any more).

Anyone here have any experience with or doing grad school at VIMS? Considering it for grad school and would love to hear thoughts.

I noticed today there was only one female student in our class (just from looking around). Attendance is optional so there maybe a few who just choose not to go today. But this is a required class for the degree so I'm still surprised. All my 200 and 300 classes were way more even (even with optional attendance). I even have a CS elective I'm taking right now that I'd say is split roughly 40/60.

I know computer science is still a male dominated field but I didn't expect to see such a clear underrepresentation. I remember all the tutors (except one) I've had thus far were women. Do they typically change majors or something? Or is this just an anomaly?

Hi, ahh I don't usually post well anywhere so sorry if this is worded weirdly but like do things get better, I'm a freshman who has to put it bluntly been having a really shitty time, like don't get me wrong I have what I believe to be an above average room, I like my classes, and have found clubs I like, but I just feel so lonely, like I get along with people in clubs but I have really struggled to meet anyone who I can be friends with outside of clubs and I just feel so fucking lonely. I saw a lot of people saying that things get better after orientation and while it definitely has, I was just wondering if things usually still feel shitty socially for a while and if things get better

If anyone is studying abroad/transferring in and looking to rent a room in current midtown for the Spring 2025 semester, please dm me!

Has anyone else has tried getting into the percussion practice rooms recently? They replaced the locks with a keypad and the code that the lockbox had previously did not work when I tried. Just wondering if anyone knows more than I do about this lol

does anyone know anything about transportation from williamsburg to charlottesville that doesn’t involve the train? all the bus journeys i see r like 8 hours long and the train involves 2-3 hour layovers

Hey all! I am a current high school senior who is planning on applying ED 1 for William and Mary because I adore the school in all capacities, but espiecially the JDP. I plan on majoring in Film and Media Studies and was wondering if anyone had any advice for applying to the JDP for film. Some stats: 4.49 GPA Dual Enrollment and AP Student Top 10% First Gen.
Multiple leadership positions including NEHS President, ITS Troupe President, 2 year Virginia Thespian Officer (positions including Co-Chair and Events Director), acting director, show choir dance captain, and I have participated in VA Gov School for Voice as well as the All State Musical (for VA Thespians). I was wondering how competitive specifically the film program is (around how many people apply and get accepted) and if I have a chance of getting in. Also, if anyone who is involved in JDP can tell me a little about how it works in context and how your experience has been, I'd appreciate that as well. Let me know! Thanks!

I just broke my foot and don't foresee being able to walk from my dorm all the way to some of my classes that are over a mile away. Is there a way to set up being taken there by the shuttle service now that classes have already started and I have a set schedule? If so, how would I go about doing that?

Hi I'm a high school senior from the northern VA area. I'm planning on applying ED because I really love W&M. However, my GPA is lower than what's usually accepted.

My GPA is a 3.78 w and my SAT is 1450, 750rw and 700m

I'm in several honors societies in my school, I've taken 7 Aps, I've attended both all-state choir and VA gov school for humanities and art, I have several leadership roles, and I'm in one of the best national choirs.

I've also done the virtual interview, contacted the music chair, attended a fall focus day, and sat in on a class.

Can I get into W & M on ED? Thanks!

For winter study abroad, are you allowed to visit other places during the weekends? How is the schedule usually? Do you have any time to yourself to explore?

Today's Ranking.

Hi, we're looking for a brunch place to eat with our son on Sunday morning, on parents' weekend. Does anyone know of somewhere that takes reservations or might be a little less crowded?? It doesn't have to be the best place in the world, although hopefully fairly decent. Somewhere where we don't have to wait an hour to be seated. Thanks!!

hi! i’m a current high school senior in Albemarle County (charlottesville). I know applying early helps a lot with chances, but i was planning on applying RD to give myself more time to polish my application. however, i don’t want to lower my chances of acceptance by doing so.

my stats, obviously :

sat : 1480, planning retake soon but i dont think it’ll get any higher

gpa: 3.75 uw, 4.29 w, transcript shows that it was just my sophomore year that messed me up

demographics: middle eastern in state first gen college student female

ecs: major ones are summer research with uva, internship for senator deeds, founding MUN at my school, student equity committee/representative for GSA, working at Monticello for 2, 3 years

personal statement about my passion for learning, because i want to be a professor and do research . supplemental is the one about showing off something in your town and i’m writing that one about monticello and how you see people from many different walks of life

3 AP tests, 5/4/5 any other info on request!!

my dilemma is that i know w&m really appreciates early decision, but i just don’t think i can do ED. do i have a good shot for regular?

I think I’m sick and some of my classes require a note. I really didn’t pay much attention to all the health and insurance stuff we had to fill out. Basically, I live 45 minutes away in-state from the school and I have a form of healthcare that they accept so I didn’t have to pay for the school’s healthcare.

I feel like the answer is probably no but I just want to make sure that it’ll cost nothing to just go see the nurse, let them see I’m sick, and have them send an email or whatever to my teachers.

Side Note: I’ve been having so many random health problems since coming here. I know I’m not used to living near the woods but I’m only 45 minutes away. Maybe it’s the air purity in my dorm lol.

Hi, we’re a group of undergrads from East Tennessee State University looking to connect with other undergrad tonight and get into some rowdy business. Jk, but really we want to meet some students and have fun.

interested in what the library has to offer but i havent had success looking on online because i can’t figure out how to find fiction if i dont have a specific book in mind. also comics

Trying to find out the dates to start making reservations ….. such a great event to get in the holiday spirit!

Hi all! I have something I'd like to ship back home. It would go into a bubble mailer. My questions are:

• can you ship out of the post office in Sadler? I'm planning on preprinting a USPS label online
• do they sell little bubble mailers I could use? it's a small object, so 4x8 would be ideal

Thanks!

I keep getting random bumps on my skin. I'm not used to living around the woods, but they don't appear to be regular mosquito bites. They're like small bubble-like bumps that turn into scars. Is this an environmental or housing issue at William and Mary? This only started happening when I got here. I haven't changed anything that I put on my skin otherwise.

Hi all! I’m a mom of a freshman. Will be coming to WB for family weekend a day early. Wondering what restaurants students love being taken out to the most as we hope to take him out a few times for good food! All price points ok - thank you all so much! :-)

Many of the reviews I read before I came here were from seniors or old, I haven’t really seen a perspective from freshman, which I would like to offer to others.
Below is my honest ratings (out of 10) for multiple aspects of campus.

Academics: 10/10
Teachers: 10/10
Campus: 9/10
Surrounding Area: 9/10
Dorms: 6/10 (Some are 8, some are 4, average 6)
Frat/Party Life: 8/10 (Actually it's amazing, not a huge party school but amazingly smart and nice frats compared to other schools)
Food: 7/10 (Genuinelly this year the food is good, Caf has better food than sadler, but sadler solos).
People: 7/10 (You need to find your people just like everywhere else, but it's much easier here)
Staff: 6/10 (Besides profs, I've had a few interactions with other staff, and none were necessarily good. Any non academic staff doesn't get paid enough to be here, and the higher-ups have been here to long)
Clubs: 10/10 (Lots of and very on top of things)

**Notes: 2032 ends their 10 year construction plan, meaning 3 new phases of campus. Next year we get new dorms; new food and a new comp sci building and a new food hall. They are knocking down the bad dorms and moving away from old buildings**.

Overall: 9/10. I love this school, it still has a lot of improvements it needs to make, but luckily next year we are adding 4+ brand new buildings on campus, which fix basically every issue. #ripGGV

I absolutely recommend going here as a freshman - someone who was on the edge about even touring.
