Professors at William and Mary are great. I have been to my professors’ office hours on several occasions, and their doors are always open. One thing to definitely be appreciated is the seriousness they give undergraduate research. William and Mary has two awards: the Monroe Scholarship and the Murray Scholarship. Both provide research stipends for students to design and conduct summer projects under a professor-advisor. There is also a third program in development called the William and Mary Scholar Undergraduate Research Experience, which is for increasing awareness about research opportunities on campus. All of my professors have been extremely helpful, and they have great connections in their fields. It is easy to feel somewhat intimidated by them, but in my experience, they are incredibly humble people who are eager to help any student that wants to succeed. Don't give up on them, and they won't give up on you.
