Classes at Williams are small, although introductory courses of the 101 genre can be somewhat large (as in 80, not 200). Size usually decreases after you choose your major.

Don't let the cafeteria food get you down--it's just a shame you missed last Sunday's Caribbean Feast, complete with festive tablecloths and even Calypso music. And you didn't hear it from us, but if you come here next year, Harvard Dining Services...
