<p>I didn’t think Williams was as diverse as Yale, based on my two visits (including one overnight). It just seemed so quaint and I wanted something a little more…real? I’m not exactly the outdoorsy type and Williams kids did seem very earthy and into nature. I remember seeing people walking around with their hiking equipment. While I like trees, I am from New Jersey and I needed some concrete. Obviously the biggest differences are size and location. Williams is tiny AND the kind of in middle of nowhere. Some people like that. I’d compare it Dartmouth. Yale is larger (obviously) but also has a more urban environment (again, pretty obvious). This is a huge deal though. You’re a resident of New Haven and you won’t ever really escape that unless you stay in your college all the time. Anyway, Amherst seemed more Yale-like to me.</p>
