    I heard that Williams is very isolated in terms of setting, but I love to go on walks. Are there places for me to go sightseeing around the neighborhood on a daily basis if I don't want to walk on trails and such?

      I go to a distance learning school, and I was wondering if I should do anything differently on my application. I only ask because I worked full-time this year (as part of an independent study project on education reform) and it has driven my studies into my summer... Thanks!
