<p>I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic experience! I wanted those dorms too but found myself more than happy in Botetourt.</p>
<p>Honestly, nothing is terribly far from anything else at W&M. You might not agree with your backpack loaded with books from Swem, however 
Compared to it’s proximity to Old Campus, I was figuring that Jefferson Basement was “far” from the library and the heart of New Campus (the sundial). Still only an 8 minute walk or so. The Rec Center is closer to 15 minutes away.</p>
<p>Have you seen this map? [College</a> of W&M - Campus Map](<a href=“http://web.wm.edu/tenniscenter/campusmap.html]College”>http://web.wm.edu/tenniscenter/campusmap.html)</p>
<p>Aroma’s is down Prince George Street and the Bookstore you can get to by going straight down Duke of Gloucester Street or by going a big further down Prince George and crossing the street (this way gets you to the back of the store where to your right, upon entrance, are the stairs down to the textbooks). I would estimate that Aroma’s is roughly 11 minutes away while the Bookstore is 12 minutes down DoG Street or 14 down Prince George. Not 100% sure as I lived on the other side of campus last year and always leave too early to get places but I hope I helped nonetheless :)</p>
<p>You are very welcome; it’s really my pleasure. Enjoy your year—it’ll fly by!</p>
