Campus Visit Notes for Williams College


Visit Description:

Williams is clearly a wonderful school, filled with enthusiastic students who enjoy their professors and their life. Our tour guide said that students participate strongly in all campus activities. However, it is quite far away from any large town and I think that some students might feel somewhat isolated.
