<p>Yayayayay this is gonna be legit</p>
<p>Anyone going to Window and Williams and DIVOH? I heard that we actually get to attend college parties…may just be a rumor though :o</p>
<p>Have you not read this whole post?</p>
<p>Yeah, why?</p>
<p>How was the WOW weekend? Please share.</p>
<p>D went this year and said it was first class. Williams will do what it takes make your child aware of their college strengths. Her host was really informative and the professors were of high caliber. She loved the school but thought it was to isolated for her. The group at Williams do a great job of allowing the kids to enjoy the experience and make themselve comfortable. After the visit my wife and daughter both received hand written cards letting them both know that they wanted my D to apply. Williams is a great institution to attend and if you can be lucky to attend WOW it would be to your childs advantage. Remember Williams is on par with HYP when it comes to admission. It is not easy to get in. An acceptance to WOW is not a guarantee to be admitted but it could put your child on the radar. My D never got the chance to apply. She got into Harvard SCEA. I hope this helps you</p>

Yeah it was really fun. If your son or daughter is interested at all in going to a liberal arts college, attending this program would help him or her a lot in terms of deciding whether she likes it or not. I strongly recommend your child to apply for WOW, assuming she’s a junior</p>
<p>Thank you for the updates! I appreciate it. She will apply. But like @Dream said, it is isolated and not sure how happy dd14 would be. But she would get an amazing education there. Siggghh… too bad its so remote.</p>
<p>My son is a Williams graduate. For him, the “remoteness” was a positive, not a negative. He is studying art history in grad school and will probably make his home in NYC when he finishes. The four years at Williams represent the only time in his life he could live in a beautiful, rural place.</p>
<p>And it is not that remote. North Adams is ten minutes away; the mall twenty minutes away; Pittsfield a half hour away; Albany an hour away.</p>
<p>I can understand if Williams is not for everyone. There are fabulous schools in much different settings. My daughter would have been unhappy at Williams. She attended Barnard. She was lucky to be admitted, because she is really only happy in NYC.</p>
<p>But the setting of schools like Williams and Middlebury is part of what they have to offer, not something that detracts from them.</p>
<p>WOW was pretty cool, except it rained for the whole time. My host was WEIRD (had a strange obsession with James Bond) and had no place for me to sleep. After trying to sleep on a windowsill, I realized the futility of the motion and went to sleep in my sister’s entry. Other than that, I met cool kids and had a great time.</p>
