[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]  Middlebury College has a significantly larger student population than Williams College. More students/faculty/administrators, etc. can make a school feel less isolated.  [/quote]

Middlebury may be a little larger, but isolated actually means "not near to other places" - both in the dictionary, and in the context of PP's inquiry.   Middlebury is indisputably more geographically isolated than Williams.

Also, the gap in size isn't that significant.   It's about 500-600 students (in total, not per year).   And Williams, despite having fewer students, in fact has a larger academic staff than Middlebury, per the Common Data Set.

If you don't have a car, Midd is better option just based on the town.[/quote]
Williams alum here. Most students do not have cars, and you really don’t need one. The town has everything you need, there are enough friends with cars, etc. I was worried about feeling isolated as I had only ever lived in NYC and DC. It turned out to be the opposite as the town has everything you need, you can always go to Boston or nyc for a weekend if you need to, Bennington and other larger towns are nearby, etc. I liked the compact nature as it really allowed me to focus on academics and on campus social things.
