Campus Visit Notes for Williams College


Visit Description:

Williams was everything I pictured it to be. The passion of the students was very apparent, as was the strength of the various academic departments. People there are very active within all settings: the classroom, outdoors, or extra-curriculars. All rave about the quality of the education and the resources and personalized student-teacher relationships concomitant with such a small school.
