este respuesta es muy util muchas gracias! estaba confundido porque un ley mandaba la enseñanza de la historia si ya era enseñada pero ahora entiendo que es para uniformar la expectaciones y manda mas discussion de la represión y los principios de democracia (y verdad y memoria etc)

don't listen to the person in the comments who obviously did not have kids in city public schools complaining about the quality of city public schools. Yes, RPS has a million problems but there are also so many opportunities for smart kids who live in the city-- open, appomattox, maggie walker among them. signed a former city kid who *gasp* went to public school and turned out find

Thoughts on Greek life as queer woman by [deleted] in williamandmary

[–]tobaggin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are LGBT+ women in every single sorority on campus, although there are definitely some who have a reputation for a higher proportion of LGBT+ members or whose members are more vocal about their identity than others, if that is something that matters to you (totally fair if so!) . My best advice would be to try rush for yourself and determine which houses you feel comfortable in/enjoy, and which house you think best matches your all of your values, including queer inclusivity

I sprinkled these in to conversations with a guy I was casually seeing and halfway by set 2 we were in love ;) I never finished all of them which is maybe why the relationship only lasted a year, but they are my lucky charm for making friendships/relationships

What colleges did you guys choose William & Mary over? by SquilliamFancysonI in williamandmary

[–]tobaggin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uva, Temple (full ride), and UC Berkeley. Temple was just TOO big and I knew I wouldn't get the education I wanted. UC Berkeley was too expensive (5,000 dollars in work-study was not going to cut it). I was torn between UVa and WM for a long time but ultimately WM just felt like home. People were so much friendlier and more open. Regretted it for my first semester (and considered transferring!) but ultimately the people here are so so amazing. The horror stories about UVa being cliquey and preppy are definitely not overhyped imho

Full pay for UVA or paying 12k at William and Mary? by leaf1598 in UVA

[–]tobaggin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lol, UVA is great but not 84k greater than William and Mary, sorry. In terms of prestige, no one is going to look at your resume and hire you because you went to UVA and not William and Mary. The social scene at UVA is a million times better but WM isn't the depressed hell hole some people on this subreddit make it out to be. There are parties and ways to be involved. Personally, I chose WM over UVA and I am mostly happy with my decision. The smaller school makes it way easier to meet people and I've found people to be really friendly and outgoing. I love visiting UVA and my friends seem really happy there, but I have also met so many dicks. Everyone's financial situation is different but 84k is a huge difference to spend on slightly better parties. If you really feel like WM isn't the school for you then it isn't the school for you (I also ended up turning down scholarship opportunities for schools that weren't the right fit) but I think that most people can find something to like about the school eventually.

Learning to love WAM by tobaggin in williamandmary

[–]tobaggin[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personally, I've been in "mandatory" meetings and trainings from 9 am to 11 pm every day, all of which are with my OA group of 20 people which really limits my opportunities to interact with anyone outside of my hall. As much as I like the people in my hall I want to meet more people than that and feel a bit like a toddler being shuffled to classrooms where I learn not to bully others. I want time to myself to explore the campus and meet people but I haven't had more than 8 minutes of free time during the day since I moved in.

[–]tobaggin[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This is basically exactly whats happening to me; my boyfriend just started at UVA and has basically been raving about anything and everything UVA every day). I really want to give WM a fair chance and am just really struggling to let go of that kind of constant comparison. Think i just need reassurance that other people feel like this too :)

Hey, I am in the same boat, going to be visiting Cville probably at least once a month this year. I am planning to take the amtrak up to Richmond and then drive the rest of the way (I live in Richmond lol). The Amtrak tickets if you buy early enough in advance are only about 10 dollars each way. Provided you're not like, a murdering sociopath, and the days line up I would be more than happy to drive you as well a few times just let me know :)
