[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think the actual education quality is very different, but Williams is more famous, has a higher rank, and enjoys a larger endowment. [/quote]

Is Williams more famous?  Vassar is pretty well known...Lisa Simpson was thinking of going there.[/quote]

In the real world, maybe 10 percent of Americans are familiar with Williams. And maybe 12 percent with Vassar. [/quote]

No Dog in this fight - neither of my kids have interest in these schools;

I've heard countless references in Film and TV about Vassar. First heard about it on Beverly Hillbillies and recently on Silicon Valley.  I think the Entertainment industry has a lot of alumni  from Vassar -  the other comments bolster this position with descriptions like "artsy".

Williams is not referenced at all in Entertainment but those who about colleges know about Williams.

I'm leaning towards  Vassar as being more popular but not necessarily "better".  And if you have these choices then "life is good!"

It's because Vassar was one of the "seven sisters." Meaning it was one of the few school where smart women in 1950 could go to. Older people are more likely to be aware of Vassar.

Vassar is a fine school today. But it's generally a rich girl/ gay boy college. Williams is a more serious school with a broader array of students. [/quote]
