Will Williams Host Me in the Dorms for a Night?

<p>I'm hoping to visit Williams in a week or two.. but I'm wondering if they'll put me up for a night like other colleges. Here is why I ask:</p>

<p>I won’t be able to visit on either of the official Preview days, so I’ll be visiting on a random week-day. I’m concerned because the "Williams Preview" pamphlet seemed very clear that they would NOT be hosting students for the night of the day-only session. Will they be similarly stringent about overnight visits on other days?</p>

<p>I’ll call them tomorrow if I can get the chance (damn time zone differences makes is tricky)... but I really hope it works out. </p>

<p>I don’t think I’ll be able to evaluate Williams fairly if it turns out to be the only school where I can’t spend the night... :(</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I am assuming that they would let you stay in the dorm with a host if you called the admissions office.</p>

<p>You can tell them exactly what you told us!!!</p>

<p>Thanks Mikey.. I hope you're right!</p>

<p>That said, I just noticed this on the Williams website:

The overnight stay, which includes three meal tickets, will be arranged by the Purple Key Society, a student-run organization housed in Office of Admission. You may visit most evenings, Sunday through Thursday, from October 3 through December 9 and February 13 through March 10.

<p>Yikes! :(</p>

<p>What do you think.. is that site the "real deal" OR are they more flexible when dealing with admitted pre-frosh?</p>

<p>Trust me .... They'll be flexible. </p>

<p>They will bend over backwards to convince you to enroll. (or at least they should )</p>

<p>Let us know how it goes!!!!</p>
