Wellesley College Top Questions

For the most part, yes.

see above answer

Not at all

I think pretty much all of them are, but I would also argue that the majority of Wellesley's students do not fall into any of the above categories.

we do have a gay and bi percentage of the wellesley population, but no more so than most other coed colleges. At wellesley they are just a little more relaxed to be able to speak out about it. I would say that there are some wellesely girls that are "desperate," because they exist everywhere, but from my experience they are hard to find. We can go anywhere, to many campuses and meet men easily on a regular basis. we may not live with them, but iv never found finding men a problem. I would call the majority of wellesely students to be intelligent and independent women. They are in an eviorment that fosters that. As for whether we are dating material, that depends on the girl. there are many women that attend mit frat parties and harvard underground parties with no intention of finding a bf. they are there to find a hookup, or just dance with their friends. But we are better known for integrity.

A good number of Wellesley women do throw themselves at guys, but women (and men) do this everywhere. It's just easier to point us out and go "ooh." But no, we're not all desperate for men, nor are we all lesbians.

It is not true that all Wellesley women are gay. It is true that those who do identify with the LGBT community may be less fearful to express themselves because Wellesley is more non-judgemental than other schools. Yes. We work really hard.

Not really- well the rich student part anyway. Sure there were the well-off people, then there were the middle class people, and then the not-so-well off people. When it came to academics and being independent, that's what was true for the most part.

they're mostly exaggerated, although people do tend to be a bit uptight and study a lot.

I'd say some Wellesley girls are stuck-up, but you'll find that anywhere so it's not unique to Wellesley. The Overly ambitious thing is true. Wellesley Women are determined and want to be the best at everything they do, not so much of a bad thing really.
