@1NJParent My reason for choosing Williams out of the myriad of great schools in the US is probably because of the great Economics department. Now, I know you’ll say that there are so many other schools with great Economics departments etc but the thing is, the factors of a nice small Liberal Arts College combined with good post-grad oppurtunities and close proximity to professors makes it a prime place to apply to. This, ofcourse, combined with their great financial aid practices makes it imperative for me to apply there. (i’m an intl asking for a lot of aid lol)
Now, the rural area isn’t much of a dealbreaker for me although I did a lot of research into that. Massachusetts is still a great state to live in and I think I’d be comfortable more in a laid back rural environment than the hustle bustle of an urban city (I could just visit boston, ny etc theyre pretty close too).
Now, just fingers crossed about my admission
