<p>Do williams students get a Facebook too? I sent my picture in a while ago and still haven’t gotten any information.</p>
<p>I think all freshmen get one.</p>
<p>Speaking of facebooks, I’m dying to get onto thefacebook [dot] com. Does anyone know when we get e-mail addresses?</p>
<p>Crap!! I Forgot To Send Mine In!!!</p>
<p>DD got her email address today - allowed her to look up her class schedule as well. It also showed a school address at Fayerweather. Is that where she will live or is that just where the mail boxes are? No other word on housing yet.</p>
<p>Freshman students and families get a facebook. Do send a photo, otherwise they’ll list your info with a cartoon cow drawing.</p>
<p>Who-hoo! We can access the facebook finally, but the class of 09 isn’t on it yet. </p>
<p>I also had Fayerweather listed as my address. But I enrolled in the First-year Residential Seminar, and I appear to be enrolled in that and the JA’s for FRS are not in Fayerweather. Therefore, I think Fayerweather must just be where all the mail comes in…</p>
<p>Mine says East and it has a room number. Some of my friends that are already at willy said that for them, that adress is their adress for next year. So I guess that Fayer is where you’ll be staying.</p>
<p>My son’s address is Williams, so I think this is truly the dorm address. Does anyone know about the health insurance that the school provides for a fee? Does everyone use it? Or is it possible that our own health insurance will be sufficient? I realize I’ll have to investigate with my own insurance company but was just wondering, for those of you who are current students/parents.
Wow, my first post after years(?) of lurking!</p>
<p>Hi Librarymom, welcome.
Massachusettes requires health insurance for all college students, so Williams ensures compliance by automatically enrolling (and billing) all students UNLESS the student provides evidence of another insurance plan and signs a waiver. By coincidence, this info just arrived in the mail yesterday 
The deadline to submit the Online waiver/enrollment form is August 12

The plan cost $720, so if he’s covered by your policy you can save some money. Our insurance has been fine for the last 2 years.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, driver. Your posts as the parent of a current student have been valuable and reassuring to me these past months. Thanks to you and momrath, too.</p>
<p>How do you find your address?</p>
<p>It’s in the peoplesoft part of the website - you should have received logon info in the mail recently.</p>
<p>Umm…my room number is 101 B. Does that mean that I’m going to live in the basement?</p>
<p>Oedipus, the “B” in the address probably refers to your entry. As in, you might live in Williams B 101, a room on the first floor of the Willy B entry (substitute whatever building is appropriate, but with B I think it has to be frosh quad).</p>
<p>Shucks, looks like I didn’t get into the First-year Residential Seminar. Gosh, I have bad luck with draws at Williams! (My name was not drawn for the summer minority program either.) But, I am still super excited for Williams, come fall. Looks like I’ll be in Fayerweather. Anyone know anything about the dorm?</p>
<p>i have no idea where i’m staying yet. Hmmm. I think i’ll go check now. Oh and I got my pic in. No cow face for me.</p>
<p>Let me know if you’re in Fayerweather, too, COols. Also, didn’t you apply for the First-year Residential Seminar?</p>
<p>Actually, I didn’t apply for that seminar.</p>
<p>Oh…whoops! I can’t remember who on here said they did. Maybe it was someone from the Williams Blackboard.</p>
<p>Maybe… does anyone still use that blackboard?</p>
