[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did math at Williams and can’t emphasis enough how involved the professors were. They are so approachable and involved and really got me to think about math in ways I never had. They also helped me with the decision I was struggling with as far as should I try finance or go straight to grad school. Ironically, with their encouragement, we all realized I would enjoy working in finance more and never ended up pursuing any further degrees in math, but I am not sure the faculty would be this approachable at a bigger school? I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them, but I found that aspect of Williams hard to beat.  [/quote]

OP: thank you for sharing. This is my feeling too. I know CMU is technically much stronger (from an academic perspective), but all the support and one-on-one relationship at Williams is really important too.

While you were there, do you know of any "hard-core" math kids who went onto MS/PhD? Do you feel these kids were challenged at Williams all four years? Were there a lot of research (or other) opportunities at Williams?

Dcum parents were there years ago.  How is that relevant?

Williams is full of polished fin bro these days.  Time has changed.
