Nice! When I built the site (in Joomla, uck!) I think I ran a search on iStockPhoto for "university" and picked the stodgiest looking place I could find.



Just to make sure my memory is right, I did a GIS, and yup, that's what it is: http://www.flickr.com/photos/80823321@N00/466827649/

Stodgiest looking place? You just made my day. W&M has a chip on its shoulder when it comes to the Ivies. It's not an Ivy, and it's usually not thought of being in the same class as the Ivies, but they've been around as long. Every official document from the school says "Chartered 1693" because while Harvard started first, W&M got its charter first.


I visited there actually when looking for schools. Stodgy is the right word for it! Great school, too.
