Beautiful campus and full of history! Just a nice place to walk around and see the statues and read the story of its founding.

Sent our daughter to college at W&M, and visited campus multiple times. The campus is beautiful, the buildings are architecturally interesting, and the people are like family. There's lots to do on campus and not far away there are shops and activities for students.

My weekend stay was fantastic. My family and I really had a good time. The purpose of my stay was to attend my son's graduation at the College of William & Mary. It was truly GREAT! I would definitely come back and stay at the Hampton Suites again.

Obviously an elite College. You can visit the Wren building on your own and or with a student guide, which is where Jefferson and others were educated.

Check the College of W & M website to check campus events. We attended two concerts, a lecture, went to a art showing and a football game. So much is there. Browsing Merchant's square is certainly worth your time.

This campus is beautiful and historic. Make it a point to go to the Wren building and the Jefferson statue.

The campus is what gives Williamsburg most of it's charm with the countless displays of colonial architecture and history. It's what convinced us to move here.

As college campuses go, William and Mary is among the prettier. The second oldest univ. in the U.S.(1693) after Harvard, the campus uniformly maintains its beautiful colonial architecture--lots of red brick and white columns. The campus, located in the center of Williamsburg and a stone's throw from colonial Williamsburg, the campus is worth a stop.

We've visited the College before the admission, as it was the first choice college for our daughter. I was more in favor of the UVA, but she was resolute. The weather was wonderful. The visit made me feel better about her choice and campus safety. Nice learning environment, especially felt good to be in-state and not pay double for education,... More
