[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It amazes me how well Williams has been able to market WEPO. Many other colleges have similar programs: Pomona with Cambridge, Amherst with New College, Oxford, and yet it only seems to come up when discussing Williams.

There's also tons of other study abroad opportunities available at both schools, many of which your child may find more alluring than Oxford. The reputation among DC's friends is that Oxbridge is the only study abroad program that is actually academically rigorous. That took it off his list.

It's perfectly reasonable to choose Williams; just not because of WEPO. [/quote]
It's always puzzled me a bit too, because no other college (maybe NYU or Bard, don't know much about them) has students come, because they're invested in going somewhere else for Junior year.

Pomona recently ramped up summer study abroad-for free-with a faculty membe,r and it looks very impressive. The faculty member has been an FSO, Diplomat, and Policy Advisor, and taught the course with trips to leaders at the EU, NATO, Morocco, and Human Rights Watch. That's the type of study abroad I'd look after.[/quote]

This would not remotely appeal to either of my kids.  A chance to spend a semester at Oxford or Cambridge would.  [/quote]
