Forum Topic: "Wellesley Scene"

Post a new topic
I am interested in studying science and was looking at Wellesley college as an option. But I am not sure about the environment. Does anyone know what a typical student is like, and what the student body is like? I am a little worried how life will be like at an all girls college.

Well I don't know much about the school, I know Hillary Clinton went there, but anyway here's what I found on princetonreview.com
-If that doesn't do much go on facebook and search for alumni because they're always willing to give advice.


Students describe the typical Wellesley undergrad (aka “Wendy Wellesley) as “an overachiever balancing two majors, 10 extracurricular activities, and several volunteer jobs.” She is “passionate, hardworking, and wants to have an impact on the world around her.” One student notes that “strong personalities,” “diverse” individuals, and a “large range of interests” do not “allow the existence of absolutely typical students.” Though “trends do occur,” the “common denominator” among students is their “commitment to academic excellence.” Beyond these traits, “Students are extremely diverse—ethnically, geographically, and socioeconomically. Because students come from so many backgrounds, no students are truly in the minority, and it is therefore easy for anyone to fit in.”
