Visiting Williams and Amherst

<p>Has anyone out there visited both of these in the same day? Is that enough time to get a sense of the school (and possibly meet with a coach) and the surrounding town or is it better to do each in a separate day?</p>

<p>Separate day.</p>

<p>I recently did both. It was a Saturday, so there were less tours available. I went to Williams for the info session and tour first thing, and then went to just the tour of Amherst. I wish I’d been able to catch an info session there as I believe it may have caused me to like the school more, but what’s done is done. I definitely got a sense of the schools and the town, having eaten small meals in both after the tours, but it’s up to you and where you’re coming from.</p>

<p>It’s pretty hard to get a sense of a school in a measly 2-hour visit. If you are strongly considering both (like I did), I’d definitely recommend two separate days. If possible, spend the night there with a student.</p>
