I was accepted to both as well, and chose Swarthmore. It just felt more “right” on the visit. One of the things I noticed is that there were a massive number of prep school kids admitted to Williams. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but there were a large number of snobs, which was not a good first look at Williams for me.Granted there are probably similar people at Swat, but I just felt more of a personal connection with the school. Also, the remoteness was really troublesome for a NYC native like me, and for some reason they put Previews on a Mon/Tuesday, which made Williams look incredibly boring. When you have a connection like that then your decision will be easy. Go with your gut and have no regrets.
