[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP: this is a spinoff question for the Williams alums (OP hope you don’t mind)

Having gone to such a small undergrad in a remote location, do you sometimes wish you went to a larger college and had a larger friend pool to choose from? [/quote]

Class of 1990 alum here.  For me, the answer to your question is "no."  My class had almost 500 people in it (not to mention the other classes around mine), so there were plenty of people to know and meet.  And the size generates, in my perception anyway, a greater sense of community, both while at school and in the decades afterwards that I don't think people at larger schools have.  So for me, the size was a big positive.  I will note that the night before graduation in 1990, as I was standing around talking to my friends, I realized that I was ready for something different (I was headed to NYC for law school), but I never felt that way during my time at Williams.  As I say to anyone who asks, its not for everyone (primarily because of its location), but for many (and for me), it was an amazing experience and education.[/quote]
