which language would you recommend taking?

i’m an upcoming freshman who stupidly didn’t complete the language requirement for college in high school. i did three years of latin because it seemed cool but didn’t continue this year- for prospective students ig that’s not a dealbreaker like many told em it would be!

anyways, if i have to take four freaking semesters of a new language, which should i pick? this is bad, but i want easy and don’t really care about practicality. what would you guys recommend based on the departments for each, the levels of easiness, etc?

also, if anyone knows other ways to more swiftly complete this requirement that does not include four semesters, i’d love to know that info as well!

Housing Accommodation

Hi! I’ll be a sophomore next year and got a housing accommodation for a single. How does this process work? SAS and Reslife were a little vague and I just wanted to make sure I’ve done everything correctly.

Effect of underload on tuition/financial aid

Does anyone here have experience underloading for a semester and would be able to let me know how it affects financial aid and tuition?

I was wanting to underload down to 10 credits for my final semester, and Isaw that both aid and costs are reduced, does anyone know if it generally evens out or is better/worse in terms of cost?

Demonstrated Interest

Hi! Prospective OOS regular decision! Just wondering, does W&M take demonstrated interest heavily into consideration? I haven't had the chance to visit bc I'm from NY. but I don't want that to negatively affect my chances. Is there any other demonstrated interest I can do? (interviews, zooms, etc.)

Thank you!

Selling personal used electronics on campus.

Hi, I'm a current student in William and Mary and I was thinking of selling some of my electronics on campus to other students or possibly faculty. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good place to do this.

Knowledge domains??

Hi all! Wondering if the major elective or major classes can also count for a knowledge domain (ALV, CSI, NQR) requirement. Like if I took ENSP 303 which is an elective for my major (integrative conservation) which is in the ALV domain, could that satisfy my ALV requirement or would I need to take a non-major class? Class of ‘29 and I’m trying to do some planning rn. Similarly, if a major requirement class is also a COLL class (i.e. CONS 410 is also a COLL 350) can it count for both or do I need an additional COLL class?

Safe Places @ W&M

Hello, future peers!

I am very excited to start my freshman year this fall and look forward to meeting all the amazing people on campus. However, I have some concerns about my safety with the rapidly changing political climate in the USA and the South. While I didn't feel unsafe on campus this past summer, as an openly gay man living in the US right now, I do feel nervous about the unpredictable climate in Williamsburg.

I would love to know more about the campus environment and how students view LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals. Are there many allies among non-LGBTQ peers and faculty? I don't want to put a negative spin on W&M; I genuinely love the school and am excited about attending.

I look forward to becoming acquainted with you all this fall! 💚💛🩶 GO TRIBE!

I got deferred EDII and I'm freaking out

Hi everyone

basically what the caption says. I applied undecided, but I already sent a LOCI because I sent my application in October. I know there's remotely not a lot I can do, but W&M is my top school. is there anyone here who got deferred and ended up going/getting accepted? My senior grades (I take all AP and DE classes are all A's for my first semester BESIDES AP AB Calc. I have a C+. I know. It's bad. I don't know what to do about that either. But the grades haven't been sent yet.) Anyways, I would really appreciate some words of comfort, advice, basically anything. I need to at least get waitlisted so I can take the spring pathway. For reference, I do have a 4.0 weighted GPA, I live in NOVA (which sucks), but I have great essays and ECs.

Band Looking for Frat Parties/Bar Gigs Fall 2025

Hey everybody, I'm with a rock/jam band called Council Ring and am looking to play some fraternity parties or bars on a Saturday this summer/fall. We play classic rock/90’s rock covers along with our originals and put on a pretty good show and can bring our own lights and PA system so it's a good deal for anyone looking to throw a party. Here's our Instagram, I’m looking for any suggestions on who or where might be interested, thanks for your time!

Yap: Off-campus-ers living with family

TDLR: Hey, slightly older freshman (20, Classics major, not like that really matters) who’s been living with family close to campus. Anyone relate/wanna hang there?

—————

I am in literal walking-distance to campus, and, having some past college experience, I’m happy to have a support system here.

That being said, shit’s kinda lonely. Even being pretty close by, it’s just a different world from dorm/student rental life. I’ve naturally become friends with mostly commuter freshmen and post-baccs, but not many because, well, I can’t find that many!

Anyone here in a similar position? I want to branch out more this semester and meet new people who, to be honest, also just feel a little lonely lol. Yikyak seems creepy so this looked like an alternative. DM if you wanna meet up or if you just have any advice! Thanks!

Previously Accepted Students Stats?

Stressing about ED II, can any previously accepted W&M students give me their stats so I know what to expect 🥲 I am in state with 3.7uw / 4.0w (test-opt) but have really strong LORs, personal statement, and optional essays. Will I be fine?
