[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Williams is the one that stands out to me. No way I'd go there over Amherst or Swarthmore growing up in an area like DC.

Friend of mine had a son who transferred from Williams because of this as well as the cliquishness of the other students.[/quote]

such a weird vibe at Williams - only school of 10 my DC eliminated immediately after the visit - she said kids were odd[/quote]

My outgoing, well-adjusted kid is ridiculously happy at Williams, just FYI. And I've met a bunch of their friends, none of whom are "odd."[/quote]

There are many athletes at Williams. They tend to be pretty normal socially. I'm sure there is a quirky, brilliant subset of kids less adept at socializing given the impressive academics though. Our student tour guide happened to be quirky, brilliant, but also social.[/quote]

Williams College reportedly has a distinct social divide between athletes and non-athletes. [/quote]
The freshman entry system makes this divide much less severe than some other NESCACs.[/quote]

What does that mean?[/quote]
It’s called the “entry system.” Google is friendlier than the likes of me.[/quote]

How is this any different than other SLACs? [/quote]

It isn't.  There are just called different things at different schools, like customs groups or sponsor groups or things like that.
