    • What is your overall opinion of this school?

       

      The classes are amazing. People either never heard of Williams College, or are extremely impressed when I tell them.

      People are obsessed with the school and think that it is the best, but I'd have to object. It has a reputation that is entirely overrated. The academics, however, deserve this high reputation. You won't find better, more supportive professors any where else.

      Williams College is in the middle of nowhere. Prepare for isolation. There is one small street with a coffee shop, but it's really nothing. Come to Williams expecting to do work, drink, and play a sport.

      As a visual artist, I am disappointed in the resources and video scene that exists here- which is very little.

    • What are the academics like at your school?

       

      AMAZING. The requirements are a little annoying, but probably useful.

      There is a gym requirement which I don't like.

      I spend lots of time with professors outside of class.

      Philosophy department is the best.

    • What are the most popular student activities/groups?

       

      Is pretty bad. It is incredibly hard for people who don't drink. I think I've become an alcoholic coming here. It is hard to find interesting, creative people.
