[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Williams is a very special place. Academics are top notch and I loved the campus when we toured. While there was plenty of charm, there were also very modern renovated and new buildings that were impressive (similar to Middlebury but unlike Amherst) and the nearby town was very charming and great place for pizza, vintage shopping, ice cream. My DS just fell in love. And tutorial classes can occur between only 2 students and 1 teacher which is an amazing resource to deepen your understanding. Probably the smallest student to teacher ratio for any LAC.

Of the SLACs we toured (Williams, Midd, Bowdoin, Amherst, Carleton, 5Cs) Williams was my DS's favorite by a mile.

Tutorials are massively overblown if you’re already attending a liberal arts college. Often they’re in your major but not a topic of particular interest and there’s not really a need to only have 2 students. You aren’t getting anything meaningfully different by having 2 versus 4-8 students in a course which you can get in any liberal arts school. [/quote]
