Karuli, Have you visited all three? The physical and cultural environments are considerably different and putting the money aside, I would think that you’d have a preference – urban vs rural. Spending four years in Williamstown is very different from four years in Manhattan or Chicago. My son chose Williams because of the environment, but others may feel the need to be in a city.

You can’t go wrong with English at Williams. There are also some well respected writers on the faculty: Jim Shepard, Karen Shepard, Andrea Barrett.
