In addition to Jim Shephard, Williams’ faculty also includes writers Andrea Barrett and Karen Shephard, who in addition to being outstanding fiction writers, are wonderful teachers.

I’m sure Cornell has some respected writers as well, but the academic experience will be quite different from Williams’ small classes, one-on-two tutorials and personal nurturing attention. Williamstown and Ithaca both offer scenic, outdoorsy environments, but the social atmosphere is also quite different. You’ll get a better idea which you prefer after you’ve visited Williams.
