Tourists in Williamsburg?

I think the W & M students (or members of particular frat, at least) are at least as much of an inconvenience to tourists. Several years ago, it was accepted practice for these guys to give tourists the wrong directions if they were stopped on the street. My general advice to tourists is not to ask guys in Greek letter shirts where the bookstore, Wren Building, or Crim Dell is.

Having been both a tourist many times, and a W & M parent for many years, my impression is that tourists don’t find their way onto campus much, with the exception of Ancient Campus, which is adjacent to Merchants Square. I caution tourists and students alike to be cautious crossing Confusion Corner in that area.
