<br />
Most students who study away from the Williams campus do so during half or all of their [[junior year]], though a few do studying abroad during their [[sophomore year|sophomore]] fall or spring every year, especially to [[Williams-Mystic Program |Mystic]]. Studying away from campus for credit is not allowed during [[freshman year|freshman]] or [[senior year]] except by special petition to the [[Committee on Academic Standing]].<br />
<br />
Below are details about some places and programs where Williams students have studied abroad.<br />
<br />
== Students ==<br />
<br />
Here are the people planning to be abroad in the upcoming year, and where they'll be.<br />
<br />
===Fall===<br />
:'''Peter Clements''' - Cairo, Egypt<br />
:'''Anna Merritt''' - Amsterdam<br />
:'''Sarah Needham''' - Siena, Italy<br />
:'''Catie Warner''' - Paris, France<br />
:'''Diana Jaffe''' - Perth, Australia<br />
:'''Thomas Miller''' - Vienna, Austria<br />
:'''Henry Kernan''' - Williams-Mystic<br />
<br />
===Spring===<br />
:'''Zoe Fonseca''' - Williams-Mystic<br />
:'''Ilya Khodosh''' - Prague, Czech Republic<br />
<br />
===Full Year===<br />
:'''Samantha Peterson''' - Paris, France<br />
:'''Jenn Sit''' - St. Catherine's, Oxford<br />
:'''[[Michael Hagerty]]''' - Buenos Aires, Argentina<br />
<br />
== Countries ==<br />
<br />
Opinions on the foreign lands in which Williams Students have studied.<br />
<br />
=== England ===<br />
<br />
Probably the best academic experience you'll find abroad. Fun pub scene, more penetrable cultural barriers, and a great place to explore Europe from. <br />
<br />
Really high cost of living though, especially in London.<br />
<br />
Consider all your options before setting your heart on [[Williams-Exeter Programme at Oxford|Williams-Exeter]]. The programme is fun and convenient, but it's also pretty selective and offers less of a chance for immersion.<br />
<br />
=== India ===<br />
<br />
India is a goddess. Don't expect to be more than a speck resting on her varied garb. Also don't underestimate the value of this position. If you are hoping to see the world from a different angle, going to the other side of it is a good start; India's people, religions, cities, and fantastic geography do the rest.<br />
<br />
If you're really interested in going, but for some reason or the other, can't go, you should read this book to get a sense of what true India is really like: Malgudi Days by R.K. Narayan (available in [[Sawyer Library]]). Its a collection of short stories based in the mythical village of Malgudi in India, but its really representative of the rural charm of the sub-continent.....if you can imagine yourself in a different setting while reading fiction, this is a book you MUST read! Also, check out A Fine Balance by Rohintin Mistry for some excellently written history (Emergency era, Indira Gandhi) and Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie for a memorable take on Independence.<br />
<br />
=== Ireland ===<br />
<br />
Like England and Scotland but with even better pubs and accents! In addition to the friendly and fun-loving people (who love Americans) the cultural experience can't be beat. They're proud of their traditional Irish music, dancing, and native Irish language--still the primary language spoken in parts of the country. Ireland is fascinating and beautiful; easy to explore through public transportation with cheap youth hostels in every town.<br />
<br />
Expect rain.<br />
<br />
=== Scotland ===<br />
<br />
Like England, but so much cooler. The people are nicer and have awesome accents and the whole country oozes character. Get your culture and pub-hopping fixes in Edinburgh and Glasgow and then head to the Highlands for some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. Also, St. Andrews features, according to legend, the highest pub-student ratio of any college town, anywhere.<br />
<br />
=== Spain ===<br />
<br />
The two largest cities are Madrid and Barcelona. Madrid is better known for its authentic Spanish culture. Barcelona, on the other hand, is part of Catalonia and has a much more European feel to it. People often cite the fact that Barcelona has one of the highest petty crimes rates in Europe, but anyone with a modicum of street smarts will have nothing to worry about.<br />
<br />
Other places to study in Spain: Sevilla, Granada, Salamanca.<br />
<br />
Go abroad to Spain and have the time of your life. Spain is kind of like the poor, lazy, and proud little brother of the rest of developed Europe. As a sidenote, Spanish people are really rather obsessed with ham. You can find lots and lots of it in Madrid at the Museo del Jamon, a chain restaurant that has hunks of pig hanging in the window. Hot.<br />
<br />
'''Programs in Spain'''<br />
<br />
''Hamilton College Year Abroad in Spain''<br />
<br />
This program is based in Madrid and largely made up of from students from schools such as Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, the Claremont colleges, and a few other small liberal arts institutions. The program is unique because it requires spanish to be spoken at all times during the semester/year and although at first this just leads to a lot of awkward conversations in hideous spanish ultimately it does make a difference. The key is to try to stay speaking spanish only as long as possible.<br />
<br />
Classes take place in a converted mansion/building near one of Madrid's private (read: beautiful, rich, and less academically inclined spanish women) universities, SAN PABLO CEU. Students live with families that don't speak any english, the quality of your home life can either be a fun family that includes you all the time or a grandmother who lives alone in a private museum of antiques, it can really be hit or miss. Classes are all in Spanish but taken with the other americans, it is possible to take classes at the university next door.<br />
<br />
The Hamilton Program is expensive, most host families recieve around 900 euros a month per student staying with them, of course there are tuition and and other costs just like regular school. However, the money does go to good use because the program sponsors several excursions each semester with transportation, hotels, and food all included. Yeah you already paid for it, but after travelling with your friends as cheaply as possible it's nice to stay in 4 star hotels and eat multi-course meals with all the wine you could ever want.<br />
<br />
''IES''<br />
<br />
''Syracuse Program in Madrid''<br />
<br />
Probably the best part of the program is its flexibility - if you want to take courses directly at a Spanish university, you can. If you want to take classes at the Syracuse program center in Madrid, well, you can do that too. You can take classes in English or in Spanish, and the course offerings are fairly extensive. SU will even help you find an internship in Spain! In general classes are very easy, but the quality of instruction is decent - if you try really hard, you might even learn something!<br />
<br />
Host families are, like everywhere, hit and miss. The program is made up mostly of Syracuse students - apprarently the SU Madrid program is where all the rich kids go if they want to slack and party like crazy for a semester, if that helps give an idea of what a lot of the students are like. Don't expect deep class discussions.<br />
<br />
The orientation programs at the beginning of the semester were interesting, and after 2 weeks of hard travel it felt really nice to settle down into a real house (well, apartment) and actually unpack. Mare Nostrum is probably the more academic orientation program, but it's also fairly difficult if you actually care about the grade (which you probably don't, so no worries!).<br />
<br />
Overall, don't worry about your Spanish not being good enough for the Spanish classes - you would probably be fine taking all your classes in Spanish even with only two semesters under your belt. Unfortunately the Spanish classes at the program center aren't that hot, but it's pretty easy to pick things up along the way.<br />
<br />
=== Japan ===<br />
<br />
THE BEST. Who wants to go to Europe!?!? The culture is fascinating, and the food is amazing!<br />
<br />
=== Italy ===<br />
<br />
La vita bella, great wine, gorgeous countryside, best food, and probably the most beautiful language ever spoken. Quality of life is not an issue here, the Italians believe first and foremost that life is to be enjoyed with family and friends and good food! <br />
<br />
Also, Siena is the best city in Italy, and can kick Firenze's butt at soccer any day.<br />
<br />
Also, if you speak Italian well enough I would encourage you not to go through American program but enroll at a local Italian university directly. Why? Being a student in Italy is not particularly hard, you get to know more fun people, you improve your language skills 1000 times better and it’s CHEAP! Did you know that a public university costs around 600 euros per year (approx. $800)?<br />
<br />
Although nothing improves your language skills like living with an Italian family. Plus the food cooked by your host mom is a million times better than what you can cook yourself, plus you get included in lots of family outings and experience what living in Italy is really like.<br />
<br />
== Other Programs ==<br />
<br />
Study abroad programs, including those that are local or involve travel to multiple countries.<br />
<br />
===[[Sea Education Association]]===<br />
Spend six weeks in Woods Hole, Cape Cod, taking classes in oceanography, nautical science, and maritime studies, followed by six weeks sailing on one of S.E.A.'s 134' Brigantine schooners conducting oceanographic research. Port stops typically include 1-3 foreign countries. When Williams-Mystic does its 10-day sailing portion uses S.E.A.'s boats. A fantastic program, for science-majors and non-science majors alike. www.sea.edu. Contact 07kal for more information. <br />
<br />
=== [[Williams-Mystic Program|Williams-Mystic]] ===<br />
<br />
Live in Connecticut across from the Mystic Seaport Museum, get to know 20 students and 5 professors really well, get college credit for sailing and going to California -- what could be better than that?</div>08mch 3https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Bad_beer&diff=7657Bad beer2006-02-23T14:30:07Z<p>08mch 3: </p>
<hr />
<div>Pretty much any American macro lager, including Busch, Bud, Miller, Natural, etc. Unfortunately this stuff dominates the American beer market, giving the many finer brews also called 'beer' a bad name.<br />
<br />
One easy way to judge whether a beer is bad or not is by the color of its can.<br />
the so called "silver and blues" are generally the bad beers. ie beast, natty, busch etc... <br />
This 'judging a book by its cover' works every time.<br />
<br />
Two words: Genny Light. Perhaps a slight mix between gasoline and sink water, this is simply not worth the intoxication. Your tongue will thank you if you just chugged rubbing alcohol instead. This is also a mainstay at Lehman Hall...so bring your own beer- unless you ask for different.<br />
<br />
Pabst Blue Ribbon, Rolling Rock, and Coors are three generally recognized exceptions, each having a devoted following of discerning tasters despite their budget pricing. Keystone Light also has a devoted fanbase.<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't be fooled into believing a beer is necessarily good if it is imported. Some of the overpriced, well-marketed "Euro" beers (e.g. Heineken or Stella Artois) are just as bad as the American macros, especially when they get skunked.<br />
<br />
Sierra Nevada is <s>terrible</s> excellent though overrated. Try the "Pale Ale", you won't regret it.<br />
<br />
And in case you are <s>pretentious</s> classy enough/actually enjoy having a good beer, check out the [[Good Beer]] page for some fine suggestions.</div>08mch 3https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Bad_beer&diff=7631Bad beer2006-02-22T21:27:00Z<p>08mch 3: </p>

<hr />
<div>The route/highway argument is similar to the [http://www.popvssoda.com pop/soda argument] because it stems from a difference in regional dialects, but it's a bit more nuanced. It's less of an argument than a semantic difference.<br />
<br />
On parts of the East Coast, people call highways "routes," but only in a specific context. They might call it "Route 495," but then they will refer to "Route 495" as a "highway" when saying something like, "I live just a few miles from the highway." Thus, unlike the [http://www.popvssoda.com pop/soda argument], the East Coasters agree with the West Coasters on what the thing itself should be called—"highway." It's just that when some East Coasters refer to one of these highways by its number, they say "Route ___."<br />
<br />
By contrast, in the South (or the Southeast), references to highways by number have some variation. Three-digit highways (but not interstates) are usually designated only by number, such as 316 or 441. Two-digit highways (but not interstates) are usually designated by using the word "Highway" rather than "Route", as in "Highway 10". All state highways can also be designated by the name of the state, followed by the highway number, such as "Georgia 400" (also known as the "Alpharetta Autobahn"). Interstates, regardless of number of digits, are generally referred to as "I-__", such as "I-20" or "I-95". "Route" does not exist in the Southeast... and if it did, it would be pronounced such that it rhymed with "out" rather than with "boot".<br />
<br />
In addition, in the Los Angeles area (if not all of southern California)<br />
there are what the locals call "freeways," which are essentially highways on performance enhancing drugs. They are all too big to be either a "highway" or a "route," making this argument completely irrelevant in that part of the country. As far as nomenclature however, Angelenos refer to their freeways simply by saying "The ___" such as "The 10" to refer to Interstate Highway 10 or "The 405," "The 101" etc...<br />

<div>=== Introduction ===<br />
The Springstreakers are a loosely organized group of streakers who have made a name for themselves streaking events at Williams. The group was founded by [[Andrew Whinery]] and [[Morgan Goodwin]] during December of 2004 and has since grown into a large but highly unorganized club. While there have been many high points for the group's career, the focus has always been on capitalizing on a maximum of focused attention to create shock value.<br />
<br />
=== Rules ===<br />
# Only streak sober. Streaking is not a shameful act and therefore should not need the influence of substances to convince you into doing it.<br />
# Don't streak little kids. Parents would get angry.<br />
# Don't streak anything with an inordanitely high risk of getting caught.<br />
# Don't streak anything unworthy of getting streaked. Such events include sparsely populated events, unpopular events, things that have been streaked before and things that are unimaginative, eg. run-of-the-mill sporting events.<br />
<br />
=== Highlights ===<br />
<br />
December 2004:<br />
Williams Hall and Sage Hall during sunday night snacks.<br />
Estimated Number of frosh streaked: 200<br />
<br />
<br />
April 2005:<br />
Ephoria Concert:<br />
Currier Basement. Special, founders streak. Family weekend, maximum crowd attention and therefore shock. Gordon's parents love it. Overall success. Remmington Shepperd streaked for the 3rd time.<br />
ESP - 150 <br />
<br />
<br />
May 2005:<br />
Art History 102: Brooks Rogers, professor Eva Grudin' lecture on Pollock's work. Modern art. A reporter and photographer from the Associated Press was also present to witness the event. This highly successful streak was followed by appluase and a very flustered but elated Art professor breaking out into spontaneous giggles for the remainder of the lecture.<br />

May, 2005<br />
Hamilton's library (full of windows I might add) was packed with those silly Hamilton students attempting to do work.<br />
Finals week, the perfect time to streak. For about ten minutes, not many people were able to concentrate too hard over the bugling, the Williams cheers, and of course, the 15 naked bodies jogging past them. So, just to let everybody know, we streaked the shit out of Hamilton. I know many of you were worried that we would not do Williams proud or they would not know that it was us, but rest assured, they knew that they had been streaked pretty hard last night by Williams. Hamilton had been getting a lot of press because of their NESCAC college streaking tour. They were boasting an undefeated record, but last night The Springstreakers brought home a W on the road. We really showed them what it is like to get a high concentration of people from a different school to be shocked, mildly disgusted, but highly entertained, by our nakedness.<br />
Hours driving: 6<br />
Williams students streaking: 14<br />
Williams students wearing only a giant purple sombrero: 1<br />
Williams students wearing only purple and yellow socks: 3<br />
Williams students wearing a purple and white cow suit: 1<br />
Estimated Hamilton students streaked: >200<br />
<br />
<br />
May 2005:<br />
Well, it has to be said. We once again outdid ourselves, in achieving the greatest moment of streaking history. With Springstreaker leadership, 42 WOOLF leaders pre-emptively streaked the entire JA class. If you weren't there, you missed quite the show.<br />
<br />
October 2005:<br />
After failing to organize a larger group of streakers on Mountain Day, three streakers managed to streak a whole crowd of Williams students atop Stony Ledge, many of whom were playing "Ride that Pony." The game of "Ride that Pony" promptly stopped.<br />
<br />
November 2005:<br />
The Springstreakers brought it all back home, streaking the inspiration for their name, the [[springstreeters]] during their fall concert. Fittingly the Springstreakers sang as they steaked<br />
<br />
LOOK FOR "THE PHILOSOPHY OF STREAKING: THEORY AND PRACTICE" TO BE OFFERED UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF FREE UNIVERSITY 2006! THE COURSE WILL INCLUDE BOTH LECTURE AND LAB COMPONENTS UNDER THE CLOSE INSTRUCTION OF MR. GOODWIN, MR. WHINERY, AND OTHER MEMEBRS OF THE FACULTY.<br />

<div>The Springstreeters are an all-male a cappella group founded in the early 80's. We sing, we dance, we do other stuff too, we're not really sure what that means. We go on tours and roadtrips all over the east coast and into the middle of the country too sometimes. Auditions are held during the first week or two of classes.

<div>Difficulty is not a primary concern here; the courses listed may range from [[Easy classes]] to [[Hard Classes]]. Questions of relevance: Did you leave the class with the sense that you learned something meaningful? Did your semester review sheets glow with high praise? A professor change your outlook?

History 135t<br />
This is the best class i have taken at Williams. there is a lot of reading, but about 90% of it is interesting and i'm glad i read it. Prof. Wood is also the man, and having him explain history is like having the golden rule explained to you by Jesus. sort of</div>08mch 3
