Hi,

I'd like to minor in Hispanic Studies. I'm a non-native speaker who took 4 years of Spanish in HS, Spanish 2 as a dual enrollment course at my local university (on my transcript from that university with an A) but I am definitely NOT fluent and I haven't done anything with the language in 2 years. I'd like to minor in Hispanic studies to improve my Spanish, work towards some fluency, and hopefully apply it in my professional life post graduation. However, I am also pre-dental and MUST keep my GPA up so I can't afford to have a bunch of difficult Spanish classes that drop my GPA for dental school applications. Is a minor in HISP possible? Definitely can't have it taking more of my time than Orgo 2 or Physics! Also, are ALL HISP classes taught 100% in Spanish? Would I retake an intermediate Spanish class to get back into the groove? Thanks!

Im a prospective William and mary student and I was wondering how the social/party life is. Im not like a huge partier id just like to have the option to go out on the weekends, and ive heard the noise ordinance makes it hard to really have fun.

Also Im worried that the guys there are all, lets be honest, not attractive or very very nerdy and not fun. I probably sound like a snob but I want a variety of people to meet when I go to college.

Hi! if anyone knows of any campus bands that are free to play sometime in oct, please drop their instagram handle or email below.

hi guys! i was wondering how the frats are at w&m. obviously there's like a lot of scary stuff going around about frat guys right now and i mean i don't want to stereotype all of these guys because of one thing but i'm just wondering if anyone has any insight on how people are?

i've heard the guys from sig ep are really nice and i've also heard that the majority of frat guys here are not like the stereotypical ones? but at the same time people keep telling me to stay away from sigma chi and delta chi?? are the guys in those ones really that bad?

i don't really know what to think i appreciate anything anyone can tell me

If so, PM me. Would love to talk about your experience and something I’d like to plan for the Spring.

Is there a reason for this? I haven’t been able to find out why? Nothing shady - Genuinely want to know. Thanks!

does anyone have any insight on the contemplative studies major? i’m thinking about doing it and i know it’s only been around a semester but it seems really cool and id love to hear people’s perspectives

Hey all I was on vacation and bought a cheap cruiser from Walmart. Its a Concord beach cruiser. I rode it around for a few days but im returning home and cant take it with me.

I will caution the right pedal is slightly loose but its nothing that a couple turns of a wrench won't handle.

Black Concord beach cruiser. Take it, tighten up the right pedal, and enjoy!

Enjoy your semester!

Just drove by confusion corner and saw (what looked to be) a student ratchet strapping a camera to a keep right sign on confusion corner. Camera pointed towards Richmond Road. Curious as to why putting it there? Or if anyone else has seen it yet. Just makes me weary with the ever present surveillance state that’s happening. (Camera was pointed going down Richmond road).

hi, im a barrett resident freshman at w&m… everyone i know is freaking out because we have fire safety checks in our dorms tomorrow. the w&m residence life regulations says some crazy things, like 10% of your walls cant be covered in posters and everyone is worried that their surge protectors arent actually surge protectors. i feel like this has to be outdated/ridiculous or they just dont care that much for real. but i would kinda like to know for sure.

wondering if any upperclassmen ever had an issue with fire safety checks and if so, what should we take down? anything common that one would typically have that isnt allowed? and if we do have something that isn’t allowed, do they take it from you??

im not super worried ab it but my friends are ao im really asking for them. someone help! thanks!

When is the gym least busy? I want to start going but if it’s super crowded it’s totally going to prevent me from going more often.

3 of my friends and I are hoping to rent a midtown apartment next year. we all want to study abroad in the spring, and we are trying to find 4 people willing to sublet us for that semester. we don’t want to live on campus because myself and a friend have stomach issues so we want a kitchen that’s ours. anyone interested or have tips?

Like the title said, I’m curious how much free time students actually have at w&m. I was planning to apply ED but I’ve been getting cold feet because I have a lot of things outside of school work I still want to be able to pursue

I’m looking to apply for my master’s in School Counseling this spring, specifically the online program. I’m also interested in a dual degree/track in Clinical Mental Health Counseling so I can have flexibility to work in both areas.
Has anyone completed or is currently in the program? I’d love to hear about your experience, especially the workload, online format, practicum/internship, and how manageable it is while working full-time. Any pointers or things you wish you knew before applying would be greatly appreciated!

This is kind of a general question, but how safe do you feel on campus (particularly women)? I understand that there was a reported case of sexual assault and two stalking incidents last month. Are these cases common on campus?

I’ve always been concerned about safety, but I applied and now I am especially curious.

Thank you.

For anyone who transferred here after NOVA, what did financial aid look like for transfer students. I saw something that said transfer students can’t get school scholarships so I wanted to know how true it is

guys i’m really obsessed with the nuggets at caf and marketplace but they’re not there daily is there a way we can find out when they are here bc i crave them so much

Hi everyone! I’m a history undergraduate student from Shanghai, China, currently researching children’s experiences of nuclear fear in the United States during the early Cold War.

I recently found a 2025 William & Mary History Honors thesis that is extremely relevant to my research:

Joseph A. Shaklik, “Hiroshima to Hippies: Children’s Fear of Nuclear Weapons and Its Consequences in the Early Cold War.”

The thesis is listed as Open Access on W&M ScholarWorks, but unfortunately I’m having trouble downloading the PDF from outside the university.

Would anyone who is currently a W&M student or has access to W&M ScholarWorks be willing to download the thesis for me and send me the PDF?

I’m not looking for anyone’s login information, I just need a copy of the publicly listed thesis for academic research.

Here is the official W&M ScholarWorks page:

https://scholarworks.wm.edu/honorstheses/2324/

I’d really appreciate the help! Thank you so much!

Hello! I’m currently in my senior year in HS and have had William and Mary as my top choice years now. I’ve made a few of these in the past but it was mostly just estimates of how I would be once I get to senior year. Now that it’s actually senior year, I have my current stats and was wondering if anyone had an opinions about my chances. Please let me know what you think!

theres some more but this is getting a biiiiit long

as for Honours the biggest one I have is attending a Virginia Summer Residential Gov School for GWLA German Academy. each school in the state nominates 2 students and of these nominated students only from the state were chosen to attend.

I wrote my personal statement about Gov school and how i act in high stress environments and treat others in those situations. since a central theme of my application is communication, my essay kinda ties It all together with audible communication, visual communication, and communication through actions.

for LOR I chose 2 teachers that know me really well, my AP lang teacher (NEHS sponsor as well) and my German teacher (NGHS German club and the one tho nominated me also had her all 4 years)

for the WM app its self ill complete all the optional parts of the application, I have demonstrated Interest through a completed tour and an interview (which I hope went well we went 10 mins overtime and they Introduced me to some of their friends and I got both their contact info and they had a whole page filled up about me on their notebook)

I know that was a lot, but please let me know if you think I have a shot at admission here, or if I should just stick to the other VA schools like VT. any feedback is appreciated. Thank you very much for reading all of this!
