It is a women's college focused very deliberitely on education and academics. The students are very driven and motivated. I transferred to Wellesley in 2005 and was struck by how unique this was, compared to the college from which I came.

The diversity, the research opportunities, and the close relationship with faculty

FIrst off, it's an all-girls school which is very different from any other school. It was the only all-girls school that I applied to and I really thought I was going to end up regretting that decision but I'm glad I made the choice that I did. It's also ridiculously challenging here. You really have to push yourself. I applied mostly to big schools but I'm really glad I made the choice to go to Wellesley. It's a perfect fit.

It is 99{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} wonderful going to a womens college but that 1{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} is very difficult. While I don't miss boys at all in the academic setting, it is very difficult not to have them on campus socially.

The worst thing about Wellesley is that there are many students who will do anything to get ahead in class, even if it means holding back the rest of the class with things like questions that the teacher has already answered, or being overly competitive in class, refusing to help anyone around them. Another negative thing about Wellesley is that students from different cultural backgrounds tend not to mix; if you belong to a certain race you will most likely have all, if not most of your friends from that race, only with a few exceptions.

Come here if you want an excellent education and are willing to get out there, be independent, and find your own way. Wellesley environment is supportive in most ways during the day and empowers young women, however the night and the weekend are your own to figure out and make the most of, so you need to make the effort to enjoy them outside the academic context.

Wellesley is not very friendly towards conservative or Republican viewpoints. If the school wants to be truly academically diverse, it must also accept and encourage these opinions in addition to liberal or Democrat opinions.

If you want a top-notch education, come to Wellesley. If you want to have the time of your life, go to a state school.

The fact that it's an all-girl school makes it more comfortable in class—there are discussion you couldn't or wouldn't have with boys around. You normally don't notice there aren't boys around until you see one or until the weekend comes.
