<p>Both towns IMO are nice, at UVA the campus and the town have a more integrated feel. This is appealing to some people but the campus and town at W&M is also appealing to some people. Neither is egregiously inadequate in a way that makes one clearly better or one clearly worse, but individuals will probably prefer one ‘feel’ more. </p>
<p>Things can be spun in many ways, but the undergraduate population and quality of education are pretty much in line. W&M has some appealing programs and experiences UVA does not, and vice versa, UVA has some things W&M does not.</p>
<p>You really can’t go wrong here, these are both good schools. You have to follow your own personality to the one that tips in your favor as far as suiting you individually. But a great choice for the residents of VA to have the luxury of making.</p>
