<p>i heard that William and mary has a very high suicide rate because the environment is very high stress. is this true? i know it has a rep for hard courses but is the academci environment really that bad?</p>
<p>plus, how is the social scene? is it really greek life oriented?</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>W&M has a well earned reputation for the workload.</p>
<p>for some reason, there's the urban legend floating around that W&M's suicide rate is really high. This is not true.</p>
<p>There's a lot more to do that greek life, but it's harder to find.</p>
<p>im a freshman this semester and my courseload has been pretty easy. sure, around midterms everyone spends the nights in studying, buts its lighthearted and way less stressful than high school. i guess it gets harder, but i really dont see it being as intense as i feared it might be.</p>
