After visiting other schools, I cannot think of a better place to spend for years. Outstanding, committed faculty; small, challenging classes; an enormous endowment spend on students; brand new facilities; a scenic mountain valley; and warm, interesting, and brilliant students.

The Williams experience is perhaps best captured by Henry David Thoreau's most famous quote about Williams: “It would be no small advantage if every college were thus located at the base of a mountain, as good at least as one well-endowed professorship … Some will remember, no doubt, not only that they went to the college, but that they went to the mountain.”
