[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised no one is defending Williams. Its student body is incredibly warm and they have the cutest mascot/merch. The math department is highly rated, and Williams has very good outcomes on the level of ivies. Id be worried DC wouldn’t be able to get a job on the east coast if they went to Pomona[/quote]

I did math and Econ at Williams and loved it. The professors are amazingly accessible. It was a bit of a culture shock going from being kind of the math wiz at my dc private and then being surrounded by math lovers who were on a whole different level, but the students and professors could not have been more welcoming and helpful. I didn’t find them cold at all. I ended up focusing on math and Econ (and fitting the stereotype of going into banking), but I loved that lots of the math people were equally focused on second majors that had nothing to do with math and were able to do so just fine.

I had always lived in DC so was worried it spoke feel too isolated. I ended up being so busy that I appreciated the focus on the campus and college. I don’t know what the PP was talking about as far as not classes at a certain time because of sports? It’s a regular school day and classes end in the afternoon. There aren’t evening classes but that’s not bc of sports. Look at the focus of the school and quotes from early presidents. They want you to be well rounded and explore the environment, too. I played a sport only my freshman year, and I wouldn’t say the sports teams are cliquey. The sports teams end up spending a lot of time together in season, so in that sense they are, but I don’t know how that’s different than at any other school none difference unique to smaller schools might be that there are a lot of multi sport athletes, which wouldn’t be possible at a div 1 school.

I would definitely recommend the math dept there. I’d reach out to some professors or other current students from your high school and start there.[/quote]
