Looking for any insight on these 2 schools which my son has narrowed down as his top choices for the fall. He has received some aid making the difference in cost about $30k more for William and Mary (we are OOS) over 4 years which we could manage if we truly thought that is the best place for him. He is undecided on a major and wants to continue theater productions for fun (not for a career choice.) He will need career guidance, but considering law school after college.

Other info- he has always said he wanted a smaller school. He is a good student but concerned about the coursework stress and grade deflation at William and Mary- unclear if this has any validity. He is not sure about Greek life, but has the impression not necessary to participate in either school if not interested.

Thanks for your input!
