[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Williams alum here- my experience might not be relevant 30+ years later, but I found it to be very friendly and laid back. People worked hard but it felt collaborative. I loved that people there could be serious about their academics without taking themselves too seriously, if that makes sense. [/quote]

My best friend attended in the 90s and I agree it was like this then. My oldest is a sophomore now and it’s quite different. The workload and peers are very intense (CS major) and I would add the academic calendar can make it seem like even more of a slog, since it’s a bit different and longer than most schools. [/quote]
So..it's intense. I don't know why people are beating around the bush. It's a rural liberal arts college that is known for its academic quality. Williams is as intense as it comes. If you want la di da, don't go to a top liberal arts college. Even students at the "fun" LAC -Pomona- spend a bunch of time studying. It comes with going to a rigorous school.[/quote]
