Williams College Campus

Hello everyone! My name is Kailyn Gibson, I’m from Atlanta, GA, and I’m a freshman at Williams College! Today, I’m gonna take you on a tour and show you the ins and outs of Williams and everything in between!

Most people give very conflicting information on what people need in their dorm rooms, and everyone’s different, but in this video, I give you a run down on what you absolutely need to have, what you kinda need to have, and things that are just nice having. :)

Spring Street is the main street in Williamstown. There are a few restaurants (overpriced), a few shops (also overpriced), a post office (you won’t need it if you’re a student here), and The Bookstore (unless you’re getting books or Williams merch, you also won’t be here a lot). So, here, I just give you a glimpse of Spring Street (but you won’t go there often).

I have my interview with Argenis, an entry mate of mine, who is also a freshman. He gives his take on Williams as a whole, and have a few laughs too.

One of my other loves is Art History, and museums hold a very special place in my heart! The Williams College Museum of Art, WCMA, serves as a creative addition to many classes on campus. One really cool aspect of the Museum is what is known as the Object Lab, in which classes curate their own exhibits to function within their classes. Also, WCMA has a program every semester called WALLS, where they allow you to have art pieces for free! How cool is that?

Sawyer Library is one of the many libraries on campus, (the other one is called Schow, but I never go there). I also work in Sawyer Library, and it’s a really great place to get work done, or chill with your friends, pretending to get work done.

Mission Dining is the main dining hall for freshman (they can go to other dining halls as well, but most of the freshman live in Mission Park, so it's just easier for us, I guess). The food is okay (not your mother’s cooking), but the dining staff is really nice so that’s a plus! There are also options for people with alternative diets (not many, but you won’t stave)!!

So many people get bad college advice from too many places! As a real life college student (a rare breed, I know) I give advice to those who are starting their college search, in the middle of it, or anywhere in between.

One thing that drew my attention was Special Collections, as they have a large collection of old and rare books used to supplement student’s learning. Overall, it’s just a really cool place to get materials for research.

This is my Chemistry Lecture Hall! This is a typical classroom for any introductory science course, so whether you take biology, psychology, or chemistry, your class might look something like this!

The South Science Center is the newest addition of the Science Center, complete with collaborative spaces, blackboards for days, and it just looks really cool! It’s also just a really good study space for anyone, science major or no. As a potential Chemistry major, this is a really nice space to look over problem sets, studying for a class, or just planning out my day.

This is one of the three Quad’s that I will be showing you! Frosh Quad is home to, you guessed it, an entire quad! When it’s warm, people enjoy playing frisbee or studying in the grass.

Currier Quad is another quad that student’s like to go to. It is situated in the middle of 4 upperclassmen dorms, and is currently home to a pretty strange sculpture. It’s also pretty. And big. It probably won’t be here if you come.
