Williams College Family Days

October 24th to 26th

Family Day Weekends

Click here for Class of 2012 First-Year Family Days
October 24th-26th, 2008

Williams hosts two Family Days weekends during the academic year: First-Year Family Days in the fall are for parents and families of first-year students; Spring Family Days are for parents and families of all Williams students. Family Days provide a time to visit your son or daughter and to participate in life at Williams.

As they draw near, you will receive information on Family Days weekends in the mail. In addition, all Family Days information will be listed on this website.

Spring Family Days is shorter and less structured than our traditional First-year Family Days event in the fall (October 24th-26th, 2008), since this time of year is busy for students as the end of the academic year approaches.

We recommend that you make your lodging reservations as soon as possible. Family Days often fall on busy weekends in Williamstown -- in the fall when there is increased sightseeing traffic and in the spring when many prospective students and their families come to town. See the Visitors Guide for information on accommodations and restaurants, driving directions, travel information, and other things to do in the area.
