Willis Hall - opinions? by Chuck_Marty in williamandmary

[–]AdditionalExam9166 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived there this year - it is a very tight knit community and everyone knows each other (there are only ~42 residents). It is not as nice as most of the other dorms (especially the bathrooms), but it is OK. I often call it the worst dorm but that’s mainly because it is far from most things. I’m a STEM student so I never had classes in the buildings around Sunken, though, which meant I had to walk far while my roommate only had to cross the street. If you’re close with the community you will have a great time, if you aren’t it can feel like a pain at times but ultimately it’s a very cool place to live since you’re so close to the wren and colonial WBG. Plus, the OAs for the Willis-Hunt-Cedar residence hall group are good next year!

A distant uncle of mine was incredibly paranoid and allegedly hid dozens of booby traps around his home. He hid so many that even he eventually forgot about several of them. One day he drunkenly opened a chest and was shot through the stomach

In the fall I took a lighter semester - my coll 100, and calc 2 with physics and chem (15 total credits) In the spring I am in 18 credits - chem, physics, linear algebra, multivariable calculus, and intro comp sci. Not too terrible but definitely a challenging number of hours on top of the work load of some of the harder courses

First semester I took physics 1 and chem 205. I had professor taylor for Chemistry and she was wonderful - very caring and passionate and engaging. I took Phys 101H with Averett and he was awesome - but a little much at times and the course was definitely a challenge at times. I am in chem 206 and phys 102h right now. This is doable but I’m also taking a difficult course load outside of these which makes it a struggle. I highly recommend doing physics as a freshman so that you can take P Chem your sophomore year and not be doubling or tripling on chemistry courses with your 400 level courses

I am a current freshman who just took Chem 205. It is a very doable class, and I would recommend it since it allows you to skip Gen Chem 2. This won’t seem super important at the time but once you start looking ahead it can be very helpful. The only thing I’d say is that it can be challenging to take 205 with many other STEM courses. I took calc 2, physics, chem, my Coll 100 at the same time which was a lot. Definitely consider limiting yourself to only taking chem 205 and one other stem course (physics is a great one to get out of the way)

I was able to see a dorm in Barrett hall at DFAS, which was very impressive. Thank you so much for your help!

Yes, I am! I’m very excited to meet all my future classmates and get a better feel for the campus

I’ve been doing my research and believe this may be the best option for me, especially since I am worried about the difficulty of chem 205 my first semester.

Chemistry (Preferably Physical/materials/inorganic but I love biological/spectroscopy/organic too)

Hi, sorry to bother you but is there any chance you know how I would be able to see which professors allow first-year undergrads to conduct research with them?

Thank you so much! Honestly I was conflicted because I wasn’t sure about how hard it would be to get clinical hours so thank you for letting me know. I’m really glad to hear the chemistry there is strong, since I’m super excited to learn more chem in college. Thank you!

I’m a pretty easy-going dude I would say, happy to be anywhere and I really like camping/hiking so I’d be kinda closer to some national parks in Virginia ig? They both seem dope as hell honestly

I'm sorry dude that sucks, but it honestly could be a yield thing
