There are no skyscrapers, busy subways or unruly taxis in Williamstown. Students are not getting lost in a large urban metropolis, but rather are taking advantage of the small setting and really creating a strong sense of community. Students create the social climate at Williams, and it is an active one. There are countless events open to everyone, and almost every one is free of cost. Students do much of the planning for all-campus events, which are then subsidized by the college.

The typical weekend at Williams has more events planned than most students have time to attend. Early Saturday morning you might catch a Williams student out and about showing school spirit and supporting their peers at a sporting event. Later on in the evening, the same student might be performing in an a capella concert or showcasing art work in the college museum. At the end of such a busy day, a student might find themselves attending an all-campus party, catching a recently released film in one of our lecture halls with stadium seating, or hanging out with friends in dormitory common space or at the Snack Bar.

From guest speakers and lecturers that arrive almost daily, to comedians and hypnotists, theatre and dance performances, concerts, art exhibitions and just hanging out with fellow Ephs, students find that there is rarely a dull moment on campus.
