Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to W&M

Get your doctor to write you a note saying you have allergies so you can get permission for a window air conditioning unit—it's a lifesaver.

Don't schedule 8 a.m. classes.

Buy a pre-paid phone card.

Passing classes requires a whole lot of work and not much sleep.

You can rent laptop computers in the library.

Don't declare your major before you have to.

Bring half as much stuff with you as you think you'll need.

Get a laptop computer, not a desktop.

Request a good dorm on the housing survey, and turn the survey in on time.

A masseuse comes to the Rec Center and gives massages— only $25 per half hour.

Don't walk on the brick walkways in the dark until you're absolutely certain you know where all the holes are.
