The Williams Prestige

It’s a bit unclear what OP’s motivation for posting this is.

There are more famous grads from Holy Cross and not snobby boarding school kids like Williams.

I know hundreds of graduates from this college but have never heard one of them talk about this way.

Less than 1% of the population is even remotely aware of Williams. What Williams prestige? No one cares.

The academics are a whole other level with no other college having tutorials. Even Oxford recognizes Williams as a top institution! It seems closer to a Harvard than a playtime palace college like Pomona.

The Troll casts their line.....and fish on!

In my limited experience, the seven sisters and Amherst are the best known LACs. Williams gets a lot of blank stares for some reason

^Maybe Wellesley but no one can name the last other 6 sisters. Colgate and Holy Cross are better known because of their sports profiles.

Amherst? How random. It has the least opportunities of any of the top lacs.

If someone held me down and forced me to name 3 differences between Pomona and Williams beyond location, I'd probably never be able to give an answer. These top lacs are all the same.

I love DCUM. Prime entertainment!
