85 degrees in Williamstown today as we toured Williams College. The drive was epic with East coast scenery, old homes, colored leaves, and trees, trees, trees. When we got there, Sulgi, the admissions director was waiting for us with a student guide, Reid. Sulgi was friendly, happy to see us and quickly arranged for some student ambassadors to join us for dinner after the tour; free meal tickets included for all of us.
The students have worked so hard I really appreciate it when these gestures are made that show them how wanted they are at these prestigious universities. Sometimes it's hard for our young folks to believe that they're good enough for all these schools. The campus was classic and stood out as the center of town. The student tour guide was able to get us into a dorm where the students seemed right at home.
The university students seemed to be studious everywhere but then one of our student ambassadors reminded us that it was Sunday, the day everyone crams to catch up!
The heat put a little damper on the tour but as soon as it started to cool down the students were able to appreciate the town and the school in a new way. Students seemed really interested in the concentrations that they get to choose instead of majors.
We ended the day with a walk through the cemetery to view the river. Of course they loved that! A cemetery is a great way to get teens to enjoy nature.
