[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We too are giving this college a good luok.  But, we  have heard that it is tremendously overpriced and that students can obtain just as goo, if not better, education at the less expensive schools.  This post is NOT intended to be a knock against Williams.  Rather, curious to know if others feel similarly that its just not wrth the mone?

We've been talking about schools for a few years as our children advance in age and we would disagree with your premise about the "quality of education" aspect and I suspect that's not what you actually meant. I would guess that any of the schools at the level of Williams impart the same level of education. In fact, if that were the polestar then our kids should pick schools nearly only by price. At the level of Williams and similar, you are buying the feel of how your kid will like it and hopefully that will impart happiness and success in terms of good prep for law/med school or a grounding in business (or whatever their career aspirations). You are also buying a brand no different than Ralph Lauren clothing, which includes the social grouping, peers and alumni network.

What I'd like to know is how it compares to bowdoin as an earlier poster asked and also Kenyon. [/quote]
