Best route to Williams from NYC/Long Island

<p>I am going up to Williams Previews and would like some input regarding the best route from Long Island to Williams.
Yahoo maps has me taking 684 to route 22 all the way up. Other possibilities are to take route 7, or to take I-95 to I-91 north or even take the NYS thruway to Albany the head over. Would appreciate any thoughts</p>

<p>I like the NYS thruway to Albany. From Albany its about 1 hour. Have you GPSd it? </p>

This is an old thread, but I am sure new admits may have the same question. I am a Williams grad from Suffolk County, Long Island. My favorite way to Williams was the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry to Route 8 to Route 2.
