[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Williams mom here. My kid has tiny classes with lots of interactive discussions and essentially no one on their phones. More in class work and less use of AI. Teachers so clearly deeply invested in their undergrads and not focused entirely on grads and fellows and research. Lots of opportunities for research projects and lots of personalized guidance from staff. Public universities and even many ivies simply don't enjoy these benefits. Most grads head off to meaningful lives and lots of elite grad schools and careers. Williams grads are among the most loyal alum with a per student endowment in the top 5 in the nation.

There are many benefits of a small top LAC in today's world where AI, emotions isolation, and chronic phone use is a real problem.

Clearly tons of benefits of large schools too!

My daughter is also relieved not to be in a Trump state, as are we :)

She is so happy at Williams and the teaching quality is just outstanding  [/quote]

my DC just passed on Williams and Amherst - opted for a bigger school.  Weird vibe at Williams, Amherst was a little better.  Hard pass at both though. My DC had the luxury of overnite visits, which helped. Couldn’t leave Williamstown fast enough..[/quote]

My DC also didn't like the Williams vibe or Williamstown but loved other SLACs. [/quote]

^^I should say I, the parent, loved Williamstown and thought it was stunning.[/quote]
