<p>Williams has an exceptionally strong English program.</p>
<p>Williams has representation at Harvard and Yale Law Schools that rivals that of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford (and Amherst).</p>
<p>You’re right that the Oxford Tutorial System at Williams makes it a compelling choice, a unique academic experience… and you’re right to be afraid of the New England weather… Be very afraid.</p>
<p>Duke isn’t the highest rank school you’re considering. With regards to student preference, Williams is overwhelmingly preferred. Notre Dame is the most prestigious out of all three schools. The athletic, drinking, and hook-up culture at Duke is insane. However, good financial aid, if money is a concern for your family, should lead you toward Duke.</p>
<p>I personally recommend Williams, since you’re already so fond of it and you’re intent on heading to law school. Notre Dame second, Duke third.</p>
