The worst…read moreeducation I've ever received and when you reach out to professors or head of department to express frustration they don't respond or blame you!!! BCC is the worst school in the state. The people in the financial aid department don't care about helping you they continually try to scam you into giving them money that you don't owe!! The disrespect is blatant and disturbing. I can't wait until the people in charge get a taste of karma.

I grew up in between NYC & southern Vermont (in South Newfane about 20 minutes from Marlboro's…read morecampus actually) so I decided I wanted to attend college in New England when the time came for me to look at colleges and universities. Ok, so, I had spent a fair amount of time on Marlboro's campus growing up: my parents (who were both CUNY Professors) had friends and colleagues who taught at Marlboro, I'd attended the Marlboro Music Festival growing up, I'd toured the campus numerous times, and had my admissions interview. I got in. I NEVER would have gone there. It's INSANELY small. Bordering on incestuously TINY. ALL the students knew each other and were up in each other's business. Brattleboro (a town I LOVE) is 20 minutes away by car, and there is literally NOTHING around Marlboro itself. I would have gone stir-crazy there. Even Bennington College was better (although not by much either), but Bennington seemed more academically credible and at least was IN the town of Bennington itself and had civilization around it. Amherst/Northampton was a BUSTLING METROPOLIS comparatively. Ergo, I chose Hampshire over Marlboro. I sometimes even found Hampshire too small and insular at 1,400+ students, so I would have found Marlboro COMPLETELY intolerable at 300. However, all that said, there were components of Marlboro's academic structure I found interesting. And the location of Marlboro is gorgeous. Vermont is gorgeous. However, Marlboro was TOO SMALL and isolated for me. Years later, a neighbor of mine in Brooklyn told me her son had gone to Marlboro and LOVED it. So, I guess it ALL depends on what you can individually put up with. I can't deal with not having culture and civilization around me, balanced out by beauty and nature and being outdoors. I need both.

I admire my peers and don't judge and that's gotten me pretty high up. I suggest you do the same.

Route 2 goes right into the middle of campus where you can see a delightful range of classic New England architectural styles in a rural setting with peaceful views of the surrounding mountains. First, the mid-morning information session was well-organized with a senior associate director (who was a Williams alumna) and rising sophomore from Seattle. Second, we did the 45 minute walking campus tour with a junior from Philadelphia who was refreshingly honest about her experiences. In contrast to Amherst College (which we visited the day before), Williams had a more organized and polished information session. One could see personal and specific examples of various Williams alumni being proactive in helping current students. Finally, the campus did not impose a KN-95 mask requirement. Overall, it's a lovely campus that is worth a stop if you're in this neck of the woods in the northern Berkshires!
