<p>And PLEEEASE visit another time than the accepted student weekends. Discovery Weekend and Ride the Tide and all that stuff can sometimes give the wrong impression because there are more events and it’s sort of like the campus at its best. Visiting on a normal weekend or even during the week can be helpful.</p>
<p>Note: The rest of this is coming from someone who visited and loved Swat and has Swattie friends, but hasn’t experienced it herself. So take it “with a grain of salt” or whatever.</p>
<p>I think that if you honestly like learning, then you’ll like Swat. You’ll have to learn to prioritize and you’ll have some really busy times, but they do more than study. Taking part of junior year off to study abroad can also help with Swat-stress. </p>
<p>If I were you, I would trying revisiting all of them- go to Ride the Tide and then maybe stay a little over or go a little early so you can see some more ‘typical’ days. You can go during the week too, if you can afford taking some time off from school. Don’t let bad visits spoil Williams and Amherst.</p>
<p>They’re all amazing amazing schools, and I wish you luck!</p>
