[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS got into both yesterday, and we are anxious to see which he picks. He's leaning heavily towards Pomona, but we want him closer at Williams. Nail biter for sure.[/quote]

Trust me, doing that several hour drive from Boston in the ice and snow will not make Williams feel closer. Pomona has a much nicer vibe among profs and students, but look at the programs in his planned major to compare.[/quote]

It’s 3.5 hours from Manhattan, door to door, we just drove it and were surprised how easy it was to get to.

Skiing is big at Williams, there is a slope about 20 minutes from campus that the school runs shuttles to and some kids even work ski patrol.  I do think kids need to like winter.

I love Southern California but not the Inland empire.[/quote]

We ski at Jiminy most winters and actually stay in Williamstown - it is really easy. And the Vermont mountains (which are bigger) aren't too far. Williamstown is definitely a small, quiet town. The community at Williams is very tight, so it is key to make sure your child likes the other students. Athletes make up a big portion of the student body. Most of the kids I know now at Williams are very comfortable in their own skin, though I know a few major exceptions. They are really smart but not in your face about it.[/quote]
