About
History
William & Mary is the second-oldest institution of higher learning in America. On February 8, 1693, King William III and Queen Mary II of England signed the charter for a "perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy, Languages, and other good Arts and Sciences" to be founded in the Virginia Colony. And William & Mary was born.
Education
Building on more than 300 years of innovation and excellence, William & Mary transcends the boundaries between research and teaching, teaching and learning, learning and living.
Research
Our research culture places an emphasis on quality, selectivity and innovation. Our size fosters both collaboration and efficiency. We're big enough to contribute effectively to many of the solutions of problems at national and global levels, yet small enough to keep overhead costs from ballooning.
Career
William & Mary and the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) are vibrant, innovative and engaged communities and we are delighted about your interest in a career with us. We accept applications for positions using the Employment Opportunities online system (paper applications cannot be accepted).

The Office of Community Engagement connects the College and community to support students’ development as active and educated citizens and to promote positive, community-driven social change. Our vision is that students will prioritize working within and understanding community in a lifelong pursuit of social justice.
Housing services
New undergraduate international students staying on campus will be able to move into the Residence Halls at the start of International Orientation (August 18, 2020), but not earlier. If you need a place to stay before you can move-in, please see short-term housing options.
You must be on campus for final exams at the end of each semester. Exams cannot be rescheduled for flights. W&M undergraduate Residence Halls close after exams. International students living in the dorms and continuing their studies at W&M in the spring are eligible to apply for winter break housing at no extra cost.

Horrible Horrible Educational Experience
Anonymous rated 1 out of 5 stars
It is very rare that I feel regret about the past, but joining W&M's online program in school counseling was one of the worst decisions I have ever made. There are far more affordable options, but I thought that the university's reputation warrants paying more. Huge mistake. Very few professors are trying to teach. Most classes are "taught" by...
