[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is a junior at Williams.

Academically he couldn't do better, and the level of one-on-one personal contact with professors is amazing. [b]He has had classes with only 6 students [/b]in the room (no missing classes). He's in a relatively small department and this year the department named him a faculty-student liaison. He came in as a student athlete (about a third to half the students do in some way), and his grades are even better than they were in high school because of the intense academic environment.

He is salivating to apply to grad schools.

Middlebury, Carleton & Swarthmore are also fantastic schools.

Pomona is the wild card here, being on the West Coast.

Small classes can also be found at many other LACs and at many elite private National Universities such as U Chicago, Northwestern, and Columbia. (At Northwestern some classes consisted of just 5 students.However, intro courses such as the introductory econ courses for freshmen did have over 100 students--something that would never happen at Williams College or at any elite LAC with which I am familiar.)[/quote]
