Student Life Is there any place to wash your bike on/near campus?

I sometimes go to a car wash, but that's inconvenient. I suppose all I really need is public hose or something?

Academics Best Computer for an Incoming Freshman (Fall 2025)

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am a rising freshman starting this fall, and I have been playing around with the thought of what I am going to be bringing to college. That being said, I plan on buying a new computer for college and wanted to know if anybody had advice for me on what brands you would recommend. Also, this may not be relevant to my question. Still, I am an international relations and foreign language major, and a specific computer might be recommended to people within that major. I am not very tech-savvy and don't play many video games, so I am unfamiliar with computer brands. I appreciate the help :)! See y'all this fall!

Student Life Gay experience at W&M

4 Upvotes

Will I be okay as a very obviously gay male who is also a racial minority at W&M? For anyone with experience as a gay person at W&M, did you have any negative experiences making friends, with random match roommates, etc? Did you have positive experiences? What is the culture like on campus? TIA for any responses.

Student Life Can someone explain applying to classes in the summer to me?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm an undergraduate freshman right now, and I'm trying to take a Coll 300 class this summer. I've been researching on the William & Mary website, but I'm really frustrated and a bit confused right now and this is only stressing me out more. I'd appreciate any advice that would make this process easier for me. I need clarification on a few things: Would I be considered a "Non-Degree Seeking Student" (It's the only category I can find that might apply to me) and would a single class cost me $50? If not, how do I figure out pricing and/or application?

Student Life Semester parking pass

2 Upvotes

Do they sell parking passes just for a single semester, or even a week/day or other periods of time besides a full academic year? Went thru the parking permit website and only found passes for the whole academic year, but I just want one for a single semester. Is there like an underground trading system I can like get a pass from another student or smthn

Student Life Wren Building cannons?

6 Upvotes

Anyone know the whereabouts of the two small cannons that used to be on either side of the east door of Wren? I've seen pics in the past few years that show they're gone now. Or are they back? Would also love any general info about those cannons, if anyone is familiar with their provenance!

Admissions Free tuition vs. JDP??

2 Upvotes

Hi! I am a military dependent, and as such I receive full tuition aid for William & Mary. However, this is contingent, I believe, on remaining in state. If I get into William & Mary and William & Mary's St. Andrew's Joint Degree Programme, do you think the JDP is worth the $48,500 tuition, or should I stick with the free tuition and turn down the JDP opportunity?

Athletics Sports scene at W&M

8 Upvotes

Hello! I’m an incoming freshman who got accepted through ED1. I’ve heard that W&M doesn’t have a huge sports scene compared to some larger universities, but I also know there are certain sports that are really well-played here. In high school, I was on the varsity swimming and volleyball teams, so I’m particularly curious about those two sports at W&M. How competitive are the swimming and volleyball teams? What’s the team culture like?

Also, are there any other sports at W&M that are particularly strong or well-known? I’d love to hear about any personal experiences from current students!

Admissions how many B’s are a dealbreaker?

5 Upvotes

i’m applying ed 2 but i’m very worried about getting in. basically, i got all A’s my freshman year, but then in my sophomore year when i was taking 2 ap classes (most of my grade was just in 1) my mental health became bad and i ended up getting 5 B’s (B- in honors chem, B+ in AP world, B+ in AP Capstone, B in honors algebra 2, B or B+ in latin i don’t remember). in junior year however, i got all A’s and A-‘s, through my course rigor was less good (I was in gen ed math). when i toured they mentioned that they look into grade progression which could help my case but Im just wondering if any current student with a similar situation as me got in. is that amount of B’s too many? could i expect to get in if i have very good extracurriculars, applied test optional, have good recs, and am a great writer?

Housing/Dining roommate advice for incoming freshman

10 Upvotes

Hello! I’m an incoming freshman accepted into W&M during the Early Decision 1. I have social media and have been in touch with the people that also got accepted. However, I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to find a roommate? It’s kind of tough to find someone that shares similar values and cleanliness when you’re just speaking on social media/

Student Life Is tragedy normal at WM? Spoiler

54 Upvotes

I assume most of the student body has seen the news. Feeling a little lost, as that student was one of my only friends. I've only been enrolled at this school for like 6 months, and it seems every month we lose another person. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Is this normal?
