<p>Which college town is better Williamsburg or Winstem Salem?</p>
<p>Never heard of “Winstem Salem.” Might that be anywhere near Winston-Salem? :)</p>
<p>How is this thread different from the one you already started? </p>
<p>Seems repetitive - but here are some comparisons. Williamsburg is very touristy - rather obvious - as the campus is adjacent to Colonial Williamsburg. I did like that you could walk across the street from campus and walk through the shopping area - again - it’s touristy - but there are places to eat, shops, a book store, etc. Within a short drive from campus there are many chain restaurants - Olive Garden and so forth and plenty of stores. I don’t think there is much in the way of nightlife - it’s more the type of things that would appeal to a family on vacation.</p>
<p>I think Wake Forest has less in the immediate area that you can walk to. But Winston-Salem itself is a larger metropolitan area that Williamsburg - and I would say there is more to do that would appeal to a college student.</p>
<p>Williamsburg is a great town. Cross between Chapel Hill and Pinehurst. Throw in a smidge of Annapolis mixed with Disney. All within an hour of Va Beach. Something for everyone.</p>
