Housing & Dining

Nestled in the colonial capital of Virginia are the homes away from home of over 5,000 William & Mary students. Living on campus provides the opportunity to surround yourself with exceptionally smart, fun and gifted people. As for food, forget everything you think you know about college dining — at W&M you'll find healthy, delicious and often locally-sourced cuisine.

Our newest {{http://www.wm.edu/offices/residencelife/oncampus/residencehalls/,residence halls}} come fully-equipped with all the conveniences of home — Lemon and Hardy Halls, for example, offer in-room controls for heating and air-conditioning, kitchens and lounges on every floor, soundproof practice rooms, reading rooms and a game room.
W&M’s {{https://dining.wm.edu/dining-near-me,dining halls}} feature food from around the world. In Food Hall at Sadler, you'll find home-style favorites along with an extensive salad bar, soup and sandwiches, a handmade pasta and pizza bar, plenty of minimally-processed, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and fresh-baked treats prepared in our own bakeshop.
Welcoming new students to campus is always exciting. Enjoy a quick look at the day we welcomed some of our newest Tribe members to campus for move-in day and {{http://www.wm.edu/orientation/,orientation}}.
WPS Starbucks, located in our Integrated Science Center, offers your favorite Starbucks beverages, freshly baked pastries, bagels, sandwiches, and an opportunity to sit back and reconnect with friends.

One of the perks of {{http://www.wm.edu/offices/fsl/,fraternity and sorority life}} is having the opportunity to live in a house with other members. {{http://www.wm.edu/offices/residencelife/oncampus/residencehalls/upperlevel/sorority/,Sorority Court}} is a pretty enclave across the street from campus and very close to dining and shops. On-campus {{http://www.wm.edu/offices/residencelife/oncampus/residencehalls/upperlevel/newfraternity/,fraternity housing}} totals over 81,000 square feet and includes 11 housing units as well as a community building located in the heart of campus.
W&M Alumni owned {{https://williamandmary.campusdish.com/LocationsAndMenus/Column15atSwemLibrary,Column 15}} operates a full service café in Swem Library offering specialty coffees, baked goods and other grab and go meal options.
Move-in day can be exciting, chaotic and sometimes tearful. But with the help of your parents and {{http://www.wm.edu/orientation/,orientation}} aides you'll be settled in no time.
Wawa (which means Canada Goose in Ojibwe) is one of the most popular spots for mid-morning coffee runs, classic mac and cheese dinners and late night study snacks.
