When a student and their family is considering a visit to Williams, be sure to plan time to explore the whole campus. In addition to taking a campus tour and attending a group information session, talk to students, attend classes, read bulletin boards, take part in evening concerts or lectures, meet faculty and coaches, and investigate facilities. Allow at least a full morning or afternoon. For additional information visit Williams College Admissions.
