<p>I live in the Berkshires and took Intro. International Relations at Williams during my senior year. Took it from Sheryl Shanks. She’s nervous, eccentric, nerdy, loves what she’s teaching, and really knows her stuff. Unfortunately, I don’t know much more than that.</p>

<p>The schools are so similar that you might want to put a lot of weight on other factors, like location and campus. Williams is fairly secluded. An hour and a half from Albany and three from Boston. Amherst is right in the middle of Umass, Smith, Holyoke, and one other school I forgot the name of.</p>

<p>You might want to think about Global History SAT IIs.</p>
