Around Town

Transportation by bus and trolley is free to W&M students, so you can hop on the blue line to visit the Williamsburg Outlets (which has a ton of different stores). There are also various events happening on campus all the time, including festivals, concerts, movie screenings, etc.

There is a student-run organization on campus called AMP (Alma Mater Productions) that organizes many fun activities and events throughout the year. These include (but are certainly not limited to) concerts, comedian shows, and movie screenings. Greek-letter organizations also occasionally organize fun and engaging events throughout the year. For instance, every spring, the Kappa Delta sorority organizes a charity fundraiser competition called â??Campus Golfâ??, where a large part of the campus is turned into a nine-hole golf course for students (and occasionally faculty) to play on. There are many clubs and organizations to get involved with here at W&M, as well as club and intermural sports teams. Busch Gardens is also a huge attraction as it is about a half-hour drive from the College.

It is a place with 6,000 kids of your age. What is there not to do for fun? However, do not come to this school with the mentality college party time. I saw half of my dorm mates fall into this mentality and ruin the academic merits they have attained in high school.

Colonial Williamsburg is right down the street and attractions are free for students, you just have to obtain a special pass. Students don't take advantage of the Historical Triangle like they should. There's also New Town, the delis, and hanging out at the Sunken Gardens.

everything. Playing golf at Sunken Garden with your own costumes, eating cookies and drinking milk in library during the final season and jogging around campus...

Join clubs that your are interested in, take part in things in the community and you will quickly find little time left to spare.

As I've said, Williamsburg is not a college town. However, AMP, the College's entertainment planning group, does a great job bringing a lot of stuff to campus, including blockbuster films, concerts, and other events. If you're into the party scene, the fraternities usually have something going on every weekend. Basically, if you look for it, you'll always find something to do, even if it's just hanging out with friends.

Merchant's Square, bus lines for transport to various malls/restaurants, on-campus activities/clubs are very diverse

Go outside! Williamsburg is beautiful and there are awesome trails for outdoorsy people. Also, Colonial Williamsburg is beautiful and fun to walk down and shop. Several beaches are nearby if you find a ride. Several campus organizations also host cool events open to students.

There so many things to do. William and Mary has a lot of different clubs to join or D1 varsity sports. Colonial Williamsburg and the Prime Outlets are extremely close. Busch Gardens is only a couple minutes away from campus.
