<p>Jags, 5500 is the freshman class at UVA. It’s tiny comapred to other nationally ranked public universities (UVA is also small for a flagship U).You are missing the point. UVA is a large, sprawling campus where most people get booted off campus after their first year. W&M is more compact, and most people can stay on campus all four years, making it a lot more intimate. But like I said before, both are great schools. It’s like comparing making love with Jennifer Love Hewitt vs. making love with Jessica Simpson. You can’t say one is a lot better than the other(in my opinion).</p>
