College Prowler Take
Williams is a very quirky and diverse place. The students are open and interested in meeting people different from themselves. Most students are like this and have a diverse group of friends—not just racially, but also socioeconomically. The Williams administration works very hard to educate students not as willing to experiment with dissimilar people about stereotypes and the importance of talking to people different than them. The campus is very inclusive and has a ridiculously large concentration of nice and kind people. If you’re open to new experiences, you will definitely feel open here. Students Speak Out

Williams is a surprisingly diverse campus, but I think a lot students miss this as different ethnic groups tend to self-segregate. I have heard a lot of people accuse the school of being just another preppy, white, jock school, but more often than not, this is because of who the students choose to hang out with. If you want to, you can kind find people from every race and religion here, but you have to be willing to break out of the predetermined groups.

There is diversity with all our international students and the like. But, we are still a liberal arts college in the Northeast, meaning that there is a plethora of over-privileged rich kids who are white. And many of them are in denial about it—being over-privileged or being white, I mean, and sometimes about both.

The campus is very diverse in all aspects, it's just a matter of where you look. If you want to find a Jewish, hip-hop, gay person, we have it. If you want a person from somewhere random like Iowa or Botswana, we have that too.

I went to a public magnet school in Florida, and the Williams student body is far more diverse than what I experienced in high school. That said, there is still a high percentage of white, Northeastern prep-school athletes. Regardless of background, however, the majority of students are incredibly open-minded and accepting.

Diversity is a state of mind, not a number of people. In this sense, Williams is diverse, because all of the students have very open minds and are curious about other cultures. Here, you can meet people from all over America, and the world, if you take the time and make some effort. |
