Campus Life

Honestly.. the food is pretty bad.

There are three main dining halls: Sadler, Marketplace, and the Caf. Sadler's food is average. Sometimes it's great and sometimes it's not-so-great. Marketplace is essentially a food court with five different restaurants (including Chik-Fil-A). The Caf usually has above average food.

There are three dining halls on campus, but plenty of other chains that do not take meal plan money. The food at the dining halls is not spectacular, but it is not that bad either. Starting with the Class of 2016, students will be required to have meal plans (which can only be used at the three dining halls) until they graduate.

Once again, nothing to complain about. Food is variegated and of great quality.

Same as dorm life - average. We do, however, have a Chick-Fil-A and it's pretty awesome.

Depending on whom you ask, they either prefer Sadler Center or the Caf. In my opinion, Sadler Center is awful and the Caf is only slightly better. Honestly, the food quality is terrible and if you can afford it, it's better to buy and cook your own meals.

Meal plans are not quite reasonable.

Not amazing, but occassionally you'll get a really good meal in the dining hall. But in general the dining hall food is deff. edible and well on its way to really good and tasty. The other options around campus are awesome as well, and with a 24/7 WAWA and a other late night options like Dominos and Qdoba, you will never go hungry (:

The food is not that great. Period. However, the campus is trying to improve this. They take suggestions into account, and they add things every semester. They're adding 150 seats to one of main dining halls for next year, as well as adding a lot more late night options due to responses from student surveys.

Food is not the best, especially if you have dietary constraints. However, there are a variety of different options available near campus.

Greek life at the College is actually fairly prevalent. There are 16 fraternities and 13 sororities on campus, as well as many other Greek-letter honor societies that induct members based on proficiency in certain departments, such as music or theatre.

Never joined. Price to join a frat is atrocious--approximately $400 per semester. Save your money and use the time to do meaningful activities like internship or community service.

My roommate joined a sorority, and she loved the experience.

Nice. Sometimes Alcohol. Be aware of.

As I'm not a member of a fraternity or sorority, I can't really speak to the quality of greek life. As far as I know, about 33% of students are members of greek organizations, including honor fraternities.

About a third of the student body is greek- but it's not really exclusive.

Greek Life is very popular at W&M, comprising roughly 27% of the student population. Fraternities and Sororities have a large presence on campus through their philanthropic activities and open social events.

Frat parties are quite crazy but end pretty early. Rush week is at the beginning of the school year, and while I didn't rush it was a pretty big thing on campus especially amongst freshmen.

Greek Life at William and Mary comprises about 30 percent of the student body. It is there for those that want it, but it does not dominate campus life. Greek Life is fairly laid back here compared to other southern schools. Most chapters understand that academics come first, and Greek Life serves as a nice and comfortable social network and social life on the weekends.

A little different than most schools, as the fraternities are in the 'units.' Get used to seeing more or less the same people every weekend if you're in a fraternity/sorority--something that could either be good or bad. As someone who would rather hang out with 10-20 good friends (as opposed to 100 acquaintances) and go to parties of 40-80 (compared to 150+) people, it works for me. I enjoy getting to know people and people getting to know me much more than constantly introducing myself each weekend. For those that like meeting new people, rush is the perfect time.
