<p>To some extent I agree. Having experience with both Harvard and Williams, I have found no real differences in the extent to which students drank at both schools. There may be a difference, but I certainly haven’t noticed it. In fact, at my time at Williams, I felt there was not much drinking at all… certainly less than at my high school. I didn’t even realize that Williams had this reputation until I stumbled across the boards.</p>
<p>Williams clearly feels that this is a problem worth tackling (and they are very public about it), so kudos to them. Who knows what the administrations at other schools think? I bet they are more tight-lipped than Williams.</p>
<p>My concern is that prospective students and parents read these threads, and immediately cross Williams off of their lists. It is a wonderful place on many different levels, and the natural beauty and opportunity for outdoor activities are unsurpassed.`It would be a shame for students not to give Williams a fair shake.</p>
<p>So perhaps we can lay this issue to rest, and let people make their own decisions.</p>
