Yes actually, It would be one near Boston, where a certain presidential candidate did her undergraduate studies… The academics at this “other school” are quite excellent. From the moment of our arrival on campus we didn’t see any groups of people. There was a pervasive air of competitive aloofness. When we asked a student for directions to the student center she looked terrified, like she’d never gotten over the “Stranger Danger” video from Kindergarten. When we found the dining hall and saw the bottled lemon and cucumber water, my jaw dropped open.Compare that to Williams where the Bell book says.
"You don’t need to bring bottled water. Besides the fact that water bottles are a huge waste issue in the world, you will be given a beautiful reusable Williams water bottle AND the Williamstown tap water is delicious and healthy! "
I’m pretty sure that socioeconomically the students are similar, the mindset and environment are worlds apart. And that is reflected in the way the students act…
Now if you were referring the the arch rival “A” school lol We actually did enjoy our visit there. The town is wonderful tons of college students, nifty shops and restaurants… but somehow we felt Williams was more authentic.
I know my daughter who would have LOVED to be an aspiring princess will thank me one day.
