<p>I think that wanting to be there is the key: If a remote New England village in a profoundly beautiful natural surrounding is appealing, then the student will have a happy four years. If s/he yearns for city life or suburban culture then Williams just isn’t the place for him/her.</p>
<p>What Jeke says about life after Williams is true. Among my son’s closest friends, many are involved in public service or NGO work, like Teach for America or the Peace Corps. The irony is that my son, the artist with an unorthodox homelife, chose to get a traditional job with a professional firm. :)</p>
