Hey, for all current students or alumni, or even those who've already decided: 1)what do you like most about Williams, 2)what's the worst thing about Williams (I'm already aware of its isolation ;-)), and 3)what do you wish you'd known when you were making the decision?
I'd like to be sure about and prepared for my decision, so thanks for anyone's insight.

1. Relative faculty size and accessibility
2. Could stand to be a little more diverse
3. I'm not sure what this question's asking or if it even applies to me...as far as I know, I've taken all of the major points to consider in mind and I've settled on Williams (the other choice being Georgetown).

1. Academic benefits of a small LAC.

2. Siberian exile in winter & homogeneous student body.

1. Amazing student body
2. It's 8.5 hours away from my home in MD
3. No matter what you expect from Williams, I guarantee that Williams will far exceed every one of your expectations. Knowing what I know about Williams today, I would not have hesitated to apply ED (I applied RD). Most of the good things you hear about Williams are under-rated and most of the bad things you hear are over-rated.
