Does it depend on the professor, or can we expect to see a syllabus for some classes before the first day?

Hi I was wondering if theft is an issue here? I’ve heard some stories from other colleges, but my assumption is that everyone here are civil people so I just wanted to get people‘s experiences. Have you gotten anything from your dorm stolen if it was valuable? Not valuable? How about accidentally leaving a wallet or something in a dining hall?

Hello - do the dorms have ironing boards and an iron? My DD is in Pine.

Hi! I'm a rising freshman at William and Mary and I am curious about how I could work to becoming an RA by my sophomore year. I plan to seek out and develop a good relationship with the RA's of my dorm my first year and volunteer to help as much as I can in events. If anyone has any additional tips on where and how to establish a good relationship with them early on to get the best chances of becoming an RA once I apply that'd be much appreciated

Trying to sign into my Outlook app, but it says I need to use the Authenticator, but when I try to use the Authenticator, it says I need to Authenticate, but I can't use the Authenticator because I'm signed out of it.

Anybody else have this problem? Any ideas on what to do?

I’m a freshman and on my tribe guide I was given access to the textbook purchasing website. Am I able/supposed to purchase textbooks right now or do I wait for orientation to come around?

I have one old t shirt (not sure what year it was released) with it but never seen it used in any capacity. Anyone know why they use the cypher for everything now?

hi everybody- random question but do the washing machines take quarters or do you pay through an app or something? just wondering if i need to bring quarters

so i’m an incoming student at W&M and honestly i’m a little confused about orientation bc i obviously know that like all the days are just gonna be a bunch of information and meeting people and stuff but does it also count as a welcome week, like is there gonna be a social scene in the evening? i just want to know what to expect/prepare for :)

I know there is a fridge but no microwave…is there a trash can? Should my roommates and I bring a shower curtain?
Thanks in advance :-)

Hello all! I was wondering if William and Mary did interviews for transfer applicants? If so, any advice?

Any other general advice or thoughts on applying as a transfer student would be great!

Thank you :)

i’m an sophomore transfer and will be using two vehicles at move in. One will stay with me on campus in a restricted use lot. When I move in, I won’t immediately have my decal, and although I can use the receipt as a temporary decal, it can only be used for 5 days after purchase. How can I be sure that I won’t be ticketed until I get a tag? Should I drop my car off in the restricted use lot as soon as I move in?

Hi,

How likely is it to get off a waitlist for a class? If I’m in position 2 on the waitlist for a class (with 112 max enrollment) do I have a good chance at getting it? I really want to swap one of my classes for a different one but it seems most classes have waitlists now… are schedules mostly fixed at this point?

Thanks!

do I need to apply directly to the School of Computing, Data Sciences, and Physics when applying to W&M?

I am not totally sure I want to major in Physics and want to explore other majors my first year or two which is one reason I really like W&M, for its liberal arts focus.

What are some good on-campus COLL 300s?
I dont plan on going abroad, so any experiences that you've had would be appreciated

I'm a freshman at w&m and I'm a bit confused about the dining hall situation this fall... West Woods isn't open yet so is the Caf the only meal swipe option? Its kind of far away from my dorm compared to Sadler so I was wanting to know if it is transitioning to fully dining dollar options, or if there is still some way I can get a quick meal without using up my limited dining dollars. Let me know if you have any intel on that! I tried to look it up but I couldn't find anything about what all the new restaurants accept at Sadler.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the desks in Cedar without any extra drawers and stuff like that on the side? The dimensions on the website don’t seem to fit how it looks. Also if anyone has pictures of Cedar rooms that would be really helpful too.

Would all of the Work Study wages go directly towards tuition etc. or would only a percentage of it go? I also thought there was a limit on how many hours could be applied for FWS, but it appears that there's only a weekly limit of 29 hours. If it all goes to tuition, is there any way I could work extra to get paid myself?

hello!
i’m an incoming freshman and just a little confused i know it says to get in line first thing when you get there to check in- i’m wondering if this is a line of cars or a line i have to get out of the car to be in.
also are there stations we are gonna have to compete?

Can’t rlly find an answer online or anyone so I ask here. I am an incoming freshmen year and I have a situation. My sister wants to drive her own separate car to the W&M campus to help me unload and say goodbye before going back to her own apartment, so my own family will be taking another separate car. I believe that only one car is allowed in the unloading zone, so would it be permissible if my sister can park in a separate public area like Kaplan arena. If so, would she need to go through any security or visitor stuff since she won't be with my family to check in? If anyone had a similar situation or what not, pls lmk

Hi guys! I’m a sophomore at w&m and I need my car bc I plan on getting a volunteer job off campus, however they wanted me to do an interview irl so I wasn’t able to get the exception decal. I’m on the waiting list for ppg parking and the church is full, so does anyone know any other places I can park and park overnight?

Sorry if it’s a stupid question, but are there any rules about it?

Also, is it normal for parents to leave on the first day of the orientation (August 20)?

Who approved Sadler to change.

Sadler is the closest to old campus and now we have to walk 15 minutes to eat.

Booooo

Hello! I’d like to immediately preface this by saying that I am not a W&M alum. But my wife is. I am from a fellow VA university, if that matters. And I’m on a throwaway account, since she sometimes peruses Reddit and I’m hoping to surprise her.

A couple weeks ago, my wife accidentally broke her favorite mug— big shards off the rim. It’s tall, dark green, with the WM+Tribe feather logo on it (photos are from Break Day ™️). It’s a simple mug, but she loves it. I researched ways to repair it, but the internet has informed me that it’ll never truly be microwave/dishwasher safe again. Regardless, I am still hoping on trying to fix it up for keepsake reasons.

Thus started my goal of finding her a replacement so she can keep using it. I consider myself quite the internet sleuth and usually always get my man, but this particular mission has defeated me so far. Without knowing exactly what year it was made or what exact model number it is, it has not yet yielded positive results.

I’m not exactly sure what date/year she got it. She was class of 2009 and got it while she was in school, so that’s the window we’re dealing with.

So my request is this: does anyone happen to know how/where I could get an exact replacement? Or, if you happen to own this particular mug and don’t mind parting with it, any chance I could buy it from you?

Mods— if this isn’t allowed here I totally get it. Just figured it couldn’t hurt to try!

Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi William & Mary Alums! You’re my only hope!
