<p>i'm thinking about applying to both colleges (williams and vassar), but I was wondering about the workload. I live in ny and I would like to go home occasionally (not counting holidays and vacations). With the workload, would it be possible?</p>
<p>Vassar has a fall break in October which is a week long. That actually is a nice break for everyone. We live 2 hours away and my son came home last year every 3-4 weeks usually for a family event. He did do work during the car ride most times.</p>
<p>Vassar is much easier to get into and out of than Williams(pun intended) Seriously, the train and 2.5 hours versus a car or greyhound bus from the wilds of northern mass.</p>
