[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is choosing between Williams and UVA in-state. Leaning to Williams, by junior year a recent alum told us campus feels incredibly small and many feel a need to study abroad to get off campus. DC is intending to study abroad regardless, but can anyone speak to the upper class years at Williams socially speaking?[/quote]

I studied abroad junior year when I was at Williams. The campus can feel small to some by Junior year, but that can happen at a lot of smaller liberal arts colleges. That being said, I had several friends who didn’t study abroad due to academic and athletic commitments or because they were serving as  JA’s (junior advisors) in first year dorms. . Some juniors who stayed on campus jokingly called themselves “generic juniors” . There were some social shifts with some juniors being abroad or busy with their JA commitments but I found it easy to pick up where I left off socially when I returned from abroad (and this was pre-internet). I’m not sure if that same sense of isolation and smallness is there there, with the internet. [/quote]
