Things I Wish I Knew Before Coming to Williams College

  • Williamstown is so far from any place where you could go out at night.

  • No matter what they tell you about the cold weather at Williams, you would always wish you knew more about how cold it actually can get.

  • There's a flimsy veil of political correctness behind which the school attempts to disguise a lot of very disturbing sentiments among the student body.

  • Many students wish they knew more about the mind-boggling amount of work they are expected to do every week in almost all majors.

  • The housing office will play any joke on them at any time, like kick them out of their dorm during the week of finals because construction is going on.
