A Learning Community You Live In
The Williams community is made up of more than 2,200 students from 49 states and 103 countries. Sculptors and skiers and debaters and physicists. Math-Art History double majors and all-conference athletes with published research. People of all genders, races and backgrounds. Fresh from military service, or first in their family to attend college.
You'll learn in classrooms and residence halls alike, enjoying the support of a dynamic community devoted to personal and intellectual development. Meet people from places you've never been. Learn to manage your time and care for mind and body. From your first-year dorm "entry" to the chance to later work as a Junior Advisor, living at Williams helps you grow in ways you may never have expected.
