I wanna do CS and unfortunately William and Mary was the only school I was accepted into that I could actually afford. It’s a really good school but if you know the school you know the CS department is not good, at all. I live in VA and was considering going to community college in order to save up money then get guaranteed acceptance to VT or UVA. What would you do?
Only 6 of the 9 Colonial Colleges had alumni as signers of the Declaration of Independence. Were there already "rivalries" between these colleges? Would a Harvard or William & Mary alumnus consider their education to be better than a Princeton or Columbia alumnus?
Despite the name, the Oyster Bowl is a regular season matchup in the Tidewater area of Virginia. It used to be a bigger deal, featuring teams like NC State, South Carolina, UVA, SMU, Maryland, and Clemson in the 70s/80s, as well as more local schools like W&M and Richmond. Nowadays Old Dominion makes one of their CUSA games the new Oyster Bowl.
"William & Mary quarterback Tom Rozantz took off on an option run and appeared headed for the game-winning touchdown against East Carolina late in the third quarter of the 1977 Oyster Bowl. When Rozantz got to the 2-yard line, Jim Johnson seemed to come out of nowhere and pounded him in the stomach with a jarring, shoulder-first tackle.
"I hit him low and I hit him a good one," Johnson said at the time.
But Johnson wasn't an ECU defender. He was a 65-year-old Virginia Beach resident who was walking the sidelines as a spectator. A former ECU head football coach and athletic director, he said he could not bear the thought of his beloved Pirates losing.
Impulsively, he ran onto the field, and made a tackle that was replayed for years on national television.
"What could I do?
"I knew (he) was going to score," Johnson said, using an expletive.
Rozantz scored anyway, and the Tribe won, 21-17, to knock ECU out of a bowl game."

I unfortunately have been unable to find a video of the play, but if anyone can find it I'd love to see it.
So as the title says, I am cursed with two great options. Vcu is offering me a lot more money and I have 32 credits from ap classes that transfer to vcu so I could in theory graduate in 2.5 to 3 years depending on other factors. So money wise and time wise vcu is a no brainer. However, William and Mary is objectively a much better school and has much more of the campus that I expect and want from a college. Only 3 credits transfer to William and Mary. Can any former students of either school give me some perspective and experience. also can any employers can you speak on the significance of what school applicants went to. Want to get my mba eventually if that’s relevant. Really appreciate any help as I am really struggling with this decision and have less than two weeks to decide.
Update: I have decided on vcu, thanks to everyone who gave me input today. :)

This was a children's book that had lots of art, poems, stories, and visual illusions. It was a pretty thick book. I know for certain it had those two things I listed in my OP. I want to say there was a reference to "Bloody Mary" but I cannot say for certain. This book had illustrations. I specifically remember an illustration about an apple on a person's head from the William Tell story.
It was published before 2008.
If I remember any more details, I will post them. I feel it should be easy to find. I don't believe there are many circumstances where that art and story are in the same book.
I am an intern with the conference this year and I am here to share this opportunity to get academically published in a journal:
The Religious Studies Student Organization of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee cordially invites undergraduates and select Masters students in your program to participate in the Seventh Annual Religious Studies Research Conference. This year the conference will be held on April 13th, 2019 from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm, at the Hefter Center, on 3271 North Lake Drive.
Selected papers will be published online, on Digital commons, and the student will be given the opportunity to present their research in an academic setting, to work closely with a mentor, and to improve their prospects for employment and further study.
Submissions from all academic disciplines are welcomed and encouraged, however papers should have an emphasis on religious practice or belief. Presenters should ensure they avoid promoting or belittling any one particular religion. Presenters will also be required to choose a faculty mentor to help direct them in the process of writing the paper and preparing to present it at the Conference. Each paper is allotted 15 minutes for presentation followed by 10 minutes for questions. Participation in the Conference includes complimentary breakfast and lunch for the presenters.
Registration for the Conference can be done by submitting a three-hundred-word abstract to uwm.rsso.conference@gmail.com. by March 8rd, 2019.
Here is the poster for this years event: https://imgur.com/a/t9bNzCW And our academic journal, which is part of the UWM Digital Commons journal library collection, where past years presentations have been published: https://dc.uwm.edu/rsso/
I am also happy to provide any additional verification to the moderators upon request. This is a great opportunity and I hope to see some of you guys in Milwaukee!
