College of William & Mary Students
Tell It Like It Is
In 1984, the College of William & Mary unleashed a graduating student upon the world, and things have never been the same. Who was this earth-altering man? Jon Stewart. Bravo, College of William & Mary, bravo.
If the College of William & Mary can produce such a super-fantastic mind as that of Jon Stewart, you have to ask yourself, what can they do for you?
There's only one way to find out . . . pick up the College Prowler guidebook, and get the inside scoop on what the school is really like. For instance:
Do you know what a fro-yo is? It's not a hairstyle, yo! It's the only way W&M kids refer to dining hall frozen yogurt...and if you don't know, now you know!
And why do they call the health center the "Death Center"? Now might be a good time to find out, don't you think?
Pick up a College Prowler guidebook, and you'll feel like you've already breezed through that awkward first year of freshman un-coolness!!
To say the least, William & Mary students have a strong affection for their school. They love the sense of history, the size, the faculty, and their fellow students. But there are some things to look out for.
Nightlife: “Williamsburg has a tendency to completely die out around nine o’clock. With no other universities closer than 45 minutes, you’re really on your own to find a fun time until 2 a.m.”
Freshman Dorms: “Avoid Botetourt freshman year and Dillard every year after that. About half the dorms have A/C, that’s all that matters when choosing a room.”
The Ladies and Gentlemen: “Guys, girls . . . they’re people like anybody else. People joke about “William & Mary goggles,” but you’d be surprised how many good-looking people come out of nowhere when the sun comes out.”
Sports: “William & Mary’s athletics aren’t the highlight of the school. So if you love going to crazy football games with diehard fans, go to Virginia Tech or UVA.”
Parking: “You pay too much for spots that don’t exist.”
Visiting the school won’t tell you these things:
Visiting campus isn't enough.

Visiting the school won’t tell you these things:
- Get your doctor to write you a note saying you have allergies so you can get permission for a window air conditioning unit—it’s a lifesaver.
- Don’t declare your major before you have to.
- Bring half as much stuff with you as you think you’ll need.
- Get a laptop computer, not a desktop.
- Don’t walk on the brick walkways in the dark until you’re absolutely certain you know where all the holes are.
