You're not the best at rating.
VT-'Asian Guys'? They aren't even ranked in the Top 50 for Asian Students. UVA has more Asian representation at 12.8%
Why list 'White guys and girls'? Every school you listed is majority 'white guys and girls' but Hampton that is an HBCU.
VCU - 'drugs' Newsflash: That's every college. Go by the Mason dorms and ask about their dive team.
Sweet Briar closed last year but is trying again with Alumni financial support to keep it running.
Hampden-Sydney 'old-school...the real VA'??? W&M was founded in 1683 only Harvard is more old-school. And 'real VA' is cool with co-ed colleges. I guess you didn't give it a 'nothing to do' since all the guys can circle jerk all night in the cow fields.
Mary Washington has the highest upward mobility rating of any VA university. So I'm sure the students that matter don't give a shit about W&M.
