We visited both campuses…with different kids…but we were there.
The kid who visited UMD really liked that campus, the location, and for him…the new at the time performing arts center.
The kid who visited William and Mary agreed it was a great school…but described Williamsburg as “like Disneyland for Senior citizens”. She said…it was just too sleepy a place, and too small.
Both are fine schools. Let your kid choose…but there is more variety of students, majors, and stuff to do near the UMD campus.
