what are the people at williams college like?

<p>and is the school more liberal or conservative?
i read on theu.com in some reviews that williams was the "purple bubble" and students only seemed to care about what happened on campus and there wasn't much political participation/interest. i hope this is not true, and i'm not sure how much i can trust a website thats partially run by mtv.
does anyone have info on this?
thanks</p>
