At William & Mary, we’re committed to optimizing the health of our community. We know that health isn’t just about your physical well-being — it includes your emotional, financial, environmental, intellectual, occupational, social and spiritual health as well.
Together, counselors and coaches, trainers and teachers, doctors and nurses, classmates and friends are all passionate about caring for one another and helping each other flourish.
From mindfulness workshops and yoga sessions to acupuncture services and fitness classes, the McLeod Tyler Wellness Center maintains a full spectrum of facilities and programs. Outside, you can enjoy the meditation labyrinth, life-size Zen garden and social wellness patio. It is home to Health & Wellness, which is made up of four departments — Campus Recreation, Counseling Center, Health Promotion and Student Health Center.
From Bodypump, cycling and dance to weight-training and cardio equipment, the Rec has everything you need for fitness and fun. Shoot hoops, climb the indoor rock wall or swim laps in the eight-lane pool. An expansive free weights area and a wealth of strength and conditioning opportunities abound. Make friends on our dozens of club sports teams and intramural leagues or simply relax in the sauna.
From hanging out in the Sunken Garden to growing a garden in the community plot, W&M has a variety of spaces and ways for you to have a mental break from classes.
Grow fruits and veggies by renting a spot or helping a friend with theirs.

Just kidding, but five small streams do feed into it. Lake Matoaka is surrounded by wooded groves and perennial gardens, and the Briggs Amphitheatre is along the shore. Take a kayak out on the water, zipline, hike the 10+ mile network of trails or attend music events.
William & Mary is a safe campus. We even have three police departments — W&M Campus Police, Williamsburg Police and James City County Police. We also offer safety apps and a student-run service to get a golf cart ride across campus at night.
Every student is unique and so are their experiences. W&M is committed to helping students with academic wellbeing, care support services and student accessibility services.
