He briefly considered London for his studies but discarded the idea, in order to optimize his chances for "political advancement."[6] After a free-spending time with other Bermudians in the capital city, he ran out of funds, and proceeded to Williamsburg, Virginia to seek advice and borrow money from his famous cousin St. George Tucker, a maneuver he would repeat.[6] He was admitted to the College of William & Mary, where he studied law under St. George and graduated after two years.[6] Tucker was pleased to find the academic work undemanding, and his social life entertaining, as he gained access to the finer homes through his cousin.[7] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3941.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3941.txt
