Williams College or Johns Hopkins University for Poli Sci & Econ double major?

Hello all,

I am a domestic student transferring from a community college. I was admitted to both Williams College and JHU. As someone who wants to double major in Economics and Political Science, I was initially set on attending Williams; however, I am a bit skeptical about the isolation aspect of the Berkshires.

The Williams tutorial is an academic experience I definitely look forward to. Would you guys say Williams is more prestigious in the fields of Political Science and Economics? I just want to get the best education possible, and if that’s at Williams, then I’d be willing to look past the isolation aspect.

It seems that JHU is ranked higher than Williams College, but then again I can’t seem to find a ranking that mentions both colleges. As far as financial aid goes, both schools offered me institutional grants that would cover the entire cost of attendance, though Williams appears to offer even more things than JHU.

That said, I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to list some of the pros and cons of attending each college, as well as mention which college would offer the best education for a Poli Sci and Econ double major.

Thanks so much!

Story on the JHU Hanke class …

Five years old, so don’t know if it’s still team taught in the same manner. My S20 had forwarded this article to me when he applied to JHU this recent admissions cycle.

I am very curious what you did to get admitted to both of these schools coming from community college. Were your scores already really high. How did you make yourself stand out?
