Williams College
- Health & Safety

Very Safe

Williams is a super safe campus. I have never felt unsafe. We are sorta in the middle of nowhere but the campus security is really friendly. If you twist your ankle or something, security is always happy to give you a ride to the health centre. They really aren't that strict either. If they come through and see some drinking games they probably wouldn't do more than just break it up and minor scolding.

Despite Recent Hate Crime, Campus Retains Small-Town Feel

Many students feel that a recent hate crime committed on campus has shaken our faith in our safety and security on campus. However, in my experience Williams is extremely safe in general. I'm sure people steal sometimes but I've never heard of or experienced it; just take the obvious precautions. Campus Security is very helpful and relatively lax on drinking (beer in the common room but keep hard alcohol out of sight).

Health and Safety

Crime is rarely ever seen on Williams' campus. The biggest crime I have witnessed was a friend's bicycle that was stolen, but then returned an hour later. Campus Security is very accessible, and the community is very inclusive. Students have access to every dorm and facility on campus with the swipe of their ID card, which speaks volumes as to how much we tend to trust each other.
