I was a grad student in CS there from 2003 - 2006. During faculty interviews, there was always a meet-and-greet with the grad students. During one of those, we realized that the candidate didn't know W&M is a public school. Most people outside of Virginia don't realize that, either.

If you graduated this year, then you're way too young to have been in any of the classes I TAed. That's startling for me to realize.
