Should I attend Penn or Williams as a recruited track & field athlete?

There is such a big difference between the locations, that I think that might be a deciding factor one way or the other. Size too, though Penn offers ways to break it down.

Both are top notch academically of course.

I lived in Philly with Penn students, who lived off campus. Penn is definitely an urban university.

For nature, you could certainly get to parks or get out of the city.

I visit the Williams area frequently, go to MassMOCA and the Clark and stay in Williamstown. I sat in a cafe outside and loved the vibe. But very small town.

Williamstown is close to Vermont too.

If you love nature and like the small campus, I would choose Williams, but that’s me. I also love Philly!
