Williams vs. Middlebury vs. Vassar

All excellent academically and in terms of prestige, so let’s forget rankings.

None are in urban centers, but Williams is known for being particularly isolated, to the point where it’s a turn-off for some people. there is really no town there at all. If you have any doubts about your ability to thrive in that for 4 years, and could see yourself maybe getting bored, then I wouldn’t take the chance with it when you have such excellent options. If isolation doesn’t bother you, if you prefer a hike on Sundays (every Sunday) rather than brunch and a movie, then maybe Williams is for you. Again, if in doubt, maybe don’t risk it.

So I see your decision as between Williams vs Vassar/Middlebury.

Vassar is not a warm weather place, but Middlebury is quite cold. And it was the most beautiful campus I have seen. Vassar is lovely too so this is not a reason to choose, just my observation.

Vassar typically has more women than men (like 56% to 44%). Middlebury is more balanced. stereotypically Vassar leans artsy and Middlebury has more athletes, but these are just stereotypes and YMMV.
Middlebury really emphasizes foreign language and immersive travel abroad.
