<p>W&M is no more of a LAC than UVa is. It’s not THAT small. Everyone makes it out to be this tiny school - it has 5500 undergrads, which is the same as Yale. No one considers Yale a LAC. While I have no personal experience (and neither does anyone else here) with comparing w&m and uva academically, I find it highly doubtful that w&m offers a more stimulating undergrad experience than UVa.</p>
