Comparing Carleton and Williams

Applying to College
1

I’ve been accepted to both Carleton and Williams - in my mind, very similar schools (small liberal arts colleges in the middle of nowhere where you can expect to freeze your butt off).

Williams is ranked higher than Carleton and, from what I know, generally considered more prestigious. However, I don’t want to make the decision based soley on rankings or pretige!

So, are there any good reasons to choose Carleton over Williams? If you had to choose between them, where would you go? How are the schools different (or similar) ?

Thanks!!

<p>Personally, if I had the choice to choose between Carleton and Williams, I would choose Williams because I couldn't picture myself in Minnesota. I personally would rather go to Massachusetts. Basically, when choosing between Carleton and Williams, you should think about which school you see yourself at. Do you see yourself more at Carleton or at Williams?</p>
