<p>Thanks a lot, redbeard, that helps.</p>
<p>I think the real beef with W&M is the lack of school pride. I mean I talk to some seniors and they same “Thank GOD I am getting out of Williamsburg!” Williamsburg itself probably isn’t as bad as Somerville, you’re right. But it really doesn’t offer much to do for an 18-22 year old on a saturday night.</p>
<p>The academic experience here has been top notch. School is very hard, so hard in fact, that I have lost a lot of motivationcompared to high school, but I’m wondering if this is just the freshman blues or something. I feel like no matter how much work I do I’m never going to get an A so why even try.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I’m not sure I would fit in with the student body @ UVa (me being an agnostic Massachusetts liberal, and preppy, but not ultra popped-collar preppy). </p>
<p>Gandhiji, what year are you at THE University? what are UVA’s strengths/weaknesses? during breaks, do you WANT to go back to school (I don’t)?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for responding, I’m just trying to bounce ideas off this message board that I’ve been addicted to for the past couple months.</p>
