The best way is to fly your jet into the North Adams airport, just down the road from campus.

By that standard, the "best" way would be to land your private helicopter on Baxter Lawn. For the rest of us who want to fly commercial airlines, the best way is to fly into Albany, and follow the driving directions on the Williams web site.

Reports are that the roads have been slippery with icy rain and slushy snow, so take that into account and check the weather before you go. Safe home.

And have fun!

Yeah, but I never knew any students who did that. I was only going by ways that students use to actually get to Williams.
