Get Hosted!! Want
to find out more about Jewish life or just “life” in general
on William and Mary’s campus? GET HOSTED! Forget
staying in a hotel room with your parents! When visiting
college campuses, the best way to get a real feel for the
college
or university is to spend the day/night with a current student
on campus. Not only will you get a more comprehensive
tour than any guide will give you, but the experiences you
have staying in a dorm, attending classes, and hanging out
with other current students will give you invaluable information
to weigh when deciding which institution to attend! William
and Mary’s Hillel is happy to assist any students who would
like to be hosted with a Jewish student for a day, evening,
or even a weekend! We are more than delighted to work
around Open House schedules or any other scheduled visit that
you have planned in the fall or spring. Contact us by
emailing hillel@wm.edu to
arrange to be hosted by a Jewish student. We also encourage
you to visit the William and Mary homepage at http://www.wm.edu to
find out more about the college in general. We look forward
to meeting you! You are also welcome
to contact one of our Board Members if you'd prefer. Their contact
information can be found here.

Visiting Details!!! Who to Contact
Any time of year, email hillel@wm.edu and
we’ll make all the necessary arrangements for you to come visit
the College of William and Mary. We’re always excited to meet
prospective members of our Jewish community! When to Visit
Every year, William and Mary Hillel commits at least one
weekend to hosting prospective students. Email us at Hillel@wm.edu for
detailed information and dates. If you’re coming at a different
time, be sure to catch one of our festive Shabbat dinners. Whether
that week’s dinner features a guest speaker, student-run services,
or just good food and good conversation, they tend to attract
much of our Jewish community, and provide a good sampling of
what Jewish life at the college is like. Where to Stay
William and Mary Hillel guarantees it will provide housing
for you with a member of the Jewish student body here at the
college, and we hope you’ll take us up on the offer. In case
you should elect not to, though, or in case your parents should
accompany you to Williamsburg, here are some convenient local

* Distances measured
in miles from Temple Beth El, just across Jamestown Road from
the College’s Phi Beta Kappa Hall. What to expect
Aside from the mandatory campus tour, make sure to visit
classes and meet with professors in departments which interest
you. Remember, college is fun – but academics take up much of
your time, and the academic experience varies with the school.
Make sure what William and Mary offers is what you’re looking
for. Also, talk to the students you meet – was this their first
choice? Would it be today? Bring Your
Friends
It’s always easier trying new things in groups, so round
up a bunch of students from your neighborhood, your temple, or
your local federation and pay us a group visit – whether on an
official Prospectives’ Weekend or not. We’ll work with you to
plan events catered to your group’s interests, and welcome prospective
parties of any size – the more the merrier!
