Agree that William & Mary is a unique public school. Was private for 200 yrs and then after the Civil War turned to the state for financial help. As far as atmosphere and academics it is public in price only. Undergrad focus is much more LAC-type than other public U’s. Haverford/Davidson/Dartmouth/Georgetown at a 33%-50% tuition discount.
