<p>I think that with the new no loan policies at all of the schools, the FA policies may be comprable.</p>
<p>I agree with mythmom and momrath I am a little biased toward and love Williams , that you should definitely visit as each school has a distinct feel. However she did choose between Williams, Amherst and her current school as her top 3. Even though my child did not pick either in the end,both were really hard schools for her to give up. However, you can only attend one.</p>
<p>Personally, I would not worry about the middle of nowhere factor, because if you live in a big city and plan on coming back to it after graduation a total change of pace could be a good thing (remember college is a short 4 years).</p>
<p>Sit in on classes, talk to people, ask them straight up their likes and dislikes about the school and if they had to choose again, knowing what they know now, would they still attend.</p>
<p>No matter where you go, you will have an amazing college experience and get a wonderful education. Congrats on having 4 wonderful schools to choose from.</p>
