Yep, you can take the trolley or red/route 5 between Plumeri and campus. In all honesty, I'm surprised there hasn't been more of a push (from what I've seen) to really make the Dillard Complex as a second Tribe Square. Though there are plans to tear down most of the storage houses and the old dorms to make way for new fields, Dillard/Plumeri being between two major commercial centers (New Town and Sterling Manor/Richmond Road) could stand to have its own shopping/restaurant strip, maybe even some office space and a new spirit shop. More incentive to get tourists, locals, and students to baseball, etc., and spend their money for the College. But one can dream.
Creative thinking!

Does any know if W&M plans to keep growing its undergraduate population (now over 6000)?
I guesstimate that W&M stands to grow to ~6500 or so undergrads - we have just above 6300 now, and the goal is to add a total of 600 by 2024 (roughly 150/yr.) from 2019.
