<p>That’s nice to hear, onemoremom. Why do you think people say that about Williams? Is it just an out-dated stereotype?</p>
<p>And thanks, momrath, for your comments. I would like to think it could be a really nice place to be for four years. </p>
<p>In many ways, the natural environment there, the remoteness, the charm of the place, is very similar to where we live. I think the whole package at Williams could be a place my kid would really feel at home, but wasn’t sure why 8 or 10 people said right off to me that there was this snobby, elitist culture there. I’m very glad to hear that hasn’t been your experience.</p>
<p>I guess my concerns were a little compounded when I heard what a large percentage of the students were economics majors. It seemed to correlate with some things I’d read about Wms students becoming investment bankers at high rates. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it was another thing that made me wonder about the dominant personality of the place.</p>
