Is Williams more famous? Vassar is pretty well known...Lisa Simpson was thinking of going there.

In the real world, maybe 10 percent of Americans are familiar with Williams. And maybe 12 percent with Vassar.

No Dog in this fight - neither of my kids have interest in these schools;

I've heard countless references in Film and TV about Vassar. First heard about it on Beverly Hillbillies and recently on Silicon Valley. I think the Entertainment industry has a lot of alumni from Vassar - the other comments bolster this position with descriptions like "artsy".

Williams is not referenced at all in Entertainment but those who about colleges know about Williams.

I'm leaning towards Vassar as being more popular but not necessarily "better". And if you have these choices then "life is good!"

Williams gets stronger job recruitment, it’s considered elite.
Vassar is also 60-65% female IIRC, that may matter it may not.

Well if you ever need a job from someone who watches Beverly Hillbillies reruns, you know which school to go to.

It's because Vassar was one of the "seven sisters." Meaning it was one of the few school where smart women in 1950 could go to. Older people are more likely to be aware of Vassar.

Vassar is a fine school today. But it's generally a rich girl/ gay boy college. Williams is a more serious school with a broader array of students.

Vassar is for people who didn’t get into Yale. It’s a very strong school and much more “artsy” than Williams.

Ok. my point was which school is more known. Like UC Berkeley vs UCLA. UCLA is more popular outside of the US. And my second point was both schools were good.

Now. You twit that doesn't get the social commentary of the Beverley Hillbillies; the show is a masterpiece which makes fun of those that: think of themselves are better because they seem to believe they are more educated. Do you see why - when people talk to those twits and decide to go to a school that's doesn't have the exclusive acceptance rate as a measurement of their grandness? I Haven't watched a re-run in decades but I really hate that pretentious snide off-topic remark that doesn't advance the conversation. A low-browed remark that requires no imagination and fomented in mediocrity; if this is the extent of your low-browed humor then I pray to those around you that need to fake laugh to shut you up. Oh yeah - That's what she said!

There was a hilarious reference to Williams on Six Feet Under. Lauren Ambrose’s character (Claire?) is talking with a high school classmate about where their peers will go to college. One of the smarter kids is going to Williams. “What’s Williams?” asks one. The other responds, “it’s that place in Vermont where celebrities go to do Chekhov.”

That may not be it exactly, but it was something like that, and I laughed out loud.

In my experience, Williams is known as that perennially top ranked LAC, while Vassar is known as that great women’s college.

Off topic, but I don’t think that’s true. UCLA might be as or more popular in the US because of sports. But those are mostly US sports that aren’t nearly as popular overseas. Berkeley always tops it in international rankings and has a far more pervasive influence in the history of science worldwide. I say this as one of the people who gets annoyed when boosters talk about his it’s the best school of all time for undergrads— it is not. But everyone who takes intro chem anywhere sees its impact in filling out the periodic table. Everyone interested in CS (which seems like 1/4 of all people studying stem these days) knows something about Berkeley’s role in co-feeding (with Stanford) Silicon Valley’s tech innovation. Most who studied physics have heard something about its history with the Manhattan project. And the world at large is aware of its extensive track record with Nobel-prize winning research, something like 5 times as many affiliations as UCLA. It’s not really close in terms of historic contributions to what we know about nature or to tech innovation.

Vassar isn't good for straight boys to be honest.
