[quote=Anonymous][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!"

Well if you ever need a job from someone who watches Beverly Hillbillies reruns, you know which school to go to.[/quote]

Ok. my point was which school is more known. Like UC Berkeley  vs UCLA.  UCLA is more popular outside of the US. And my second point was both schools were good.

Now. You twit that doesn't get the social commentary of the Beverley Hillbillies; the show is a masterpiece which makes fun of those that: think of themselves are better because they seem to believe they are more educated.  Do you see why -  when people talk to those twits and decide to go to a school that's doesn't have the exclusive acceptance rate as a measurement of their grandness? I Haven't watched a re-run  in decades but I really hate that pretentious snide off-topic remark that doesn't advance the conversation. A low-browed remark that requires no imagination  and fomented in mediocrity; if this is the extent of your low-browed humor then I pray to those around you that need to fake laugh to shut you up.  Oh yeah  - That's what she said![/quote]
