<p>I hate when this happens…William and Mary and UVA are both great schools. Am I the only one who feels that each school appeals to a different group of students. Some of my best friends go to UVA and I love it there. I just felt William and Mary was more of a match for my personality and goals. Why is there this sometimes bitter debate? It’s like splitting hairs to see which one is truly “the best”. And in most cases, it’s a matter of opinion. Virginian’s have such great choices for in-state colleges at every level, in both public and private. Let’s put this to bed.</p>
