The Neighborhood System

Williams College’s upperclass student housing is comprised of four neighborhoods, each with a membership of approximately a quarter of the student body.  Faculty and some staff members are also affiliated with individual neighborhoods. Each neighborhood has a student governance board, 7-10 Baxter Fellows, a Faculty Program Director, and over 100 faculty and staff affiliates.

The Neighborhood System enhances the close-knit community at Williams, fosters  opportunities for students, faculty and staff to get to know one another, and encourages diverse programming.  Students are integral in making the Neighborhood System a success.  With that in mind, we encourage everyone to get involved!  Enjoy the events!  Communicate with your governance board!  Spread neighborhood pride!
