Countries
Opinions on the places that Williams Students have studied in the past.
England
Probably the best academic experience you'll find abroad. Fun pub scene, more penetrable cultural barriers, and a great place to explore Europe from.
Consider all your options before setting your heart on Williams-Exeter. The programme is fun and convenient, but it's also pretty selective and offers less of a chance for immersion.
Ireland
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.
Expect rain.
Scotland
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.
Spain
Easily the awesomest place ever--especially Barcelona. Madrid is alright, but I mean, really, Barcelona has the beach and the more attractive people. Barcelona is one of the most walkable cities in Spain, a bit frenchy but everything is just right. Also, it doesn't help that Real Madrid sucks.
Regardless, 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. Also, lots and lots of Ham in Madrid
Japan
THE BEST. Who wants to go to Europe!?!? The culture is fascinating, and the food is amazing!
Programs
Study abroad programs, including those that are local or involve travel to multiple countries.
Williams-Mystic
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?
