Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA

Williams College, established in 1793, is one of the most beautifully designed campuses I've ever visited. The early planners eschewed the traditional collegiate

quadrangle organization, choosing to freely site buildings among the hills. Later construction tended to cluster around Main Street in Williamstown. The

Olmsted Brothers (the sons of the eminent landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted) played a large part in shaping the campus design and architecture.

The College occupies 1st place in U.S. News & World Report 's 2014 ranking of the 266 liberal arts colleges in the United States. Forbes magazine ranked Williams the best undergraduate institution in the United States in its 2014 publication of America's Top Colleges.
