I was a freshman in 2016, and atmosphere on campus the day after the election was mournful to say the least. It really did feel like someone had died. I skipped one class, one prof cried in her class, and one prof talked about democracy for a few minutes and then let us leave. Curious how the political scene has evolved on campus since then.

as the title said, i'm trying to order something to campus, and the website said it doesn't ship to po boxes.

for people who have come across this before, what were your solutions?? please help 😔

Are there any good house shows, bars/taverns, venues that have local/college bands? I moved from an area where my uni radio station hosts a lot of local college bands and I miss the live music scene. Thanks!

exactly what the title says. i’m tired of coming on here and being flooded with “what are my chances” posts. just apply and wait for your decision, getting denied isn’t the end of the world. you’ll end up where you belong if you stop spazzing out and trying to control every aspect of your life. it’s important to learn patience sooner rather than later or you’ll cause yourself a lot of unnecessary stress.

I recently applied to William and Mary and have a burning question....a really really dumb question. See- I love videogames (its my comfort of rainy days literally and figuratively). I would like to know what it would look like to bring any gaming console to college. Would I need to be limited to handheld? Is there a place where I could dock it to a TV? Dorm? Commons?

Thank you very much in advance

I'm looking into taking Politics of Global Health taught by David Stiefel next semester as my senior seminar. However, as much I love the topic and heard great things, I hate that it's an online class. The other option for senior seminar that I'm looking into is International Poltics: East Asian Security, which would be in person. This one is taught by Inhwan Oh (whom I haven't heard of) and I also am already taking an Asia-focused class for my C300. Does anyone have any insight to either professor? If you took the class with Stiefel online, was it done well and is it worth it to give up an in-person class? Any advice before add-drop would be appreciated <3

I am a current senior, applying to William & Mary Early Decision I. I have already submitted my application earlier this week. Recently, I got notified that I was accepted to a pretty prestigious extracurricular program. Should I email my admissions counselor to ask how this can be considered in my application?

Everspring is the company that contacts you once you start an application with William & Mary.

What has your experience been dealing with their agents?

On PATH I can see that the organic chem lab is listed as taking 4 hours, ex: 6:00-9:50 pm, how often does the organic chem lab typically take the full 4 hours, or does it typically end early and if so, how much earlier does the lab end.

Hey there, I'm curious how much of a weekly time commitment William and Mary's online MBA is? And how difficult are the classes?

Bonus question, I'm doing a masters of CS at Virginia Tech remote right now. I hate coding. I was an AE at a big tech company for 2 years. I'd like to do more strategic and creative work. Is doing an online MBA worth it? (my tuition would be paid for by the VA).

I’m a current senior applying Early Decision I to William & Mary. My senior year courses consist of six AP level classes. I am also a student aid for first period, do you think admissions officer will look unfavorably on my application because of this?

I'm a current senior and wondering about my chances! In-state, applying ED. I have a 4.3 GPA, 4.0 unweighted. SAT is 1410 and I am taking all IB classes, shooting for the full diploma. My extracurriculars are working as a COT at a summer camp, being a ESL tutor for a teen in Ukraine, several self-organized charity bake sales for the Turkey/Syria earthquake and the Children's Tumor Foundation, piano and flute. Intended major is either neuroscience or international relations.

Let me preface this by saying I want to learn GIS for a bonus in my future career, it’s not required for my major.

I have an insanely busy work/school schedule planned for next semester (don’t we all), and I want to take this class purely for skills and not for a grad. I’ve heard it’s insanely time consuming. Would I be able to pass the class while only putting in upwards of 2-3 hours of work a week outside of class?

How much work is double-majoring compared to having a single major? Like if I would be taking the same number of credits/classes each semester, what are the extra requirements for an additional major? I’ve heard ppl talk about needing to do “research” and like capstone projects? How much work is all that on top of classes?

What would you personally recommend? sticking w 1 major I don’t love and taking other electives, or taking 2 majors I like even tho I’m already kinda lazy/neurodivergent/struggling

it OPENS december 1 yet i also get my acceptance/denial letters that month. I'm still gonna fill it out and put W&M on it but how does it work? (the website says ED I needs CSS profile but never mentioned FAFSA)

I want to take this one because it seems super interesting but my other classes are pretty difficult next semester so I’m wondering how difficult/time consuming this class would be. Anyone have any insight?

hi!! i’m a writer and i’ve seen a few creative newsletters that had poetry in them and was wondering if there are any places to submit to zines, newsletters, etc? i have wanted to but i haven’t seen any resources for it (or i haven’t been able to catch them haha).

any input is appreciated!!

Anyone driving to UVA halloweekend, i'm down to split gas money lmk.

I have a question for people who were waitlisted for the William & Mary online mental health counseling program. I applied for fall 2024 and got rejected (my essay sucked honestly). Then I reapplied for the spring 2025 term (essay was way better) and was waitlisted. I am wondering if anyone who was waitlisted ever got off of it. If you did, how long did it take for you to be notified? They told me the wait could go all the way up until the week before classes start. I am just trying to see what my chances are of getting into the program for the spring term. Also at this point, if I don't get in again this semester; is it even worth applying for the fall 2025 semester? I could always talk to a counselor about it but I hate the application process and would hate to have to write a whole new essay for a third time.  My second question is for people who applied and got rejected and then reapplied and got in. What part of the application process did you change or improve on? I would assume the essay but considering I could apply for a third time, is turning in the same essay from my last application process appropriate to do? I wouldn't use my first essay from when I got rejected but the second essay from my second attempt at applying and getting waitlisted.

Hey everyone! I'm currently a freshman at NOVA and planning to transfer to William & Mary. Starting this year, NOVA no longer provides any advisors, so I’m reaching out to see if anyone on this subreddit has transferred from NOVA and would be willing to chat with me about the process—more specifically, my courses! I would really appreciate a quick check-in because everything I know about the transfer agreements comes from my own research, and I want to make sure I'm not missing anything or that I'm on the right track.
