If Williams College was listed among National Universities, it probably would be ranked about #30 to #40. Georgia Tech, U Virginia, UNC, UCLA, Rice, etc. are more prestigious and certainly have better name recognition.

Once outside the snobby Northeast US bubble, reality sets in and LACs prestige diminishes greatly.

Nevertheless, both are solid schools which prepare students well for grad school.[/quote]

When the Wall Street journal and the Times Higher Education together published a joint ranking which combined LACs and National Universities, Williams College was either the first or second highest ranked LAC. Williams College was ranked in the 20s.

Amherst College was the highest ranked LAC at #22, Williams College was at #23, U Michigan at #24, and Bowdoin College at #38. Rice University was ranked #18.

#27 UCLA & #33 UNC were both ranked ahead of #38 Bowdoin College. Rice at #18 and U Michigan at #24 were also ranked ahead of Bowdoin College.
