This old thread provides a pretty good summary: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/williams-college/896033-what-makes-williams-special.html

To me, the unique / special / quirky things that most stand out are:

(1) Tutorials, (2) Mountain Day, (3) End-of-semester trivia, (4) The entry system, and (5) Winter Study. Honorable mention for the purple cow mascot, the Oxford study abroad program, watch-dropping at Commencement, the Chapin Rare Books Library, and the huge array of interesting campus public art. There are plenty of others, many of which are described on that thread.
