Williamstown is small. If you are the type of person who needs to be exploring new shops and restaurants on a regular basis, 4 years there might drive you crazy. There are larger towns a few minutes away (North Adams to the east & Bennington, Vermont to the north), but your everyday life will revolve around the small pleasant Williamstown and the Williams campus.

Tufts, although “suburban,” is in a densely populated neighborhood that probably feels urban to folks whose idea of a suburb is individual houses with large yards. With its proximity to Cambridge & Boston, there would never be a shortage if places to go & things to see. Also, the Boston airport is easy to reach from Tufts via mass transit, whereas Williams folks typically use the Albany NY airport, which is an hour’s drive away.
