== So you're thinking about summering in Williamstown ==
===Non-Williams jobs in the surrounding area===
Mass Moca, various non-profits in North Adams and Williamstown, Tanglewood, Peace Valley Farm, and Overland Adventures all provide summer employment or internships. For many of these you'll need a bus pass or a car, the bus is reasonable and quick for North Adams. This is by no means an exhaustive list, the OCC probably has much more information. Most people who work in the surrounding area get [[alumni sponsored grants]].
===Housing, etc.===
Summer on campus housing starts with a smaller scale room draw late in spring semester. Usually there will be only 2 or 3 dorms availiable, most often Sage Hall, Morgan Hall, and one of the Greylock dorms. As mentioned earlier, past summers it's cost 35$ per week, so if you want to stay away from home it's budget friendly.
====Meals====
Often students living in summer housing will have to purchase a meal plan, 5 might be the smallest. Every summer there is some upset about the lack of kitchen facilities, people who want to cook for themselves can us the CES kitchen in Kellog, the kitchen in Rice, and if they are in use the kitchen in whichever Greylock dorm.
====Other people on campus====
Anyone content enough to stay here will find that beside other college students there are plenty of other youths around, some from the [[Williamstown Theater Festival]] and some from various sports camps. You'll know the latter have shown up when you see loads of blinging mercs and lexuses cruising around piloted by trophy mothers.
