<p>Since the Williams College's supplement talks about a significant environment to the writer, I find it attractive to write about absurdism and especially those shared views that Meursault had in the Stranger (Except for killing, of course). </p>
<p>But the question that remains controversial to some people, is it okay to write something like this for a college essay?</p>
<p>In a word, Yes.
College essays are supposed to be a “window” into someone’s personality itself; writing about what makes you tick, or whatever intellectually stimulates you–even with a bit of a risque topic–is much preferred over something bland and conventional. If you think you can master your topic and convey yourself through Camus’ POV, then I encourage you to go for it.</p>
<p>If you need someone to edit/critique, I’d also be more than happy to help out.</p>
<p>Best,
