Wellesley College Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Gail

It has a beautiful 500-acre campus complete with our very own lake! The students are friendly and will make you feel right at home. The professors are easily accessible and are willing to go over problems one-by-one on your homework that you didn't fully understand. The classes are interactive; you won't be in a huge lecture hall with 100s of other students. The professor actually notices if you're missing or late.

Wellesley College is a place for "women who will make a difference in the world" and, I think many of the alums are high-powered, amazing women. Wellesley is a women's college so you do hear stereotypes that we are a school full of lesbians and/or sluts, and lots of people know about us that way. It's also the school the film Mona Lisa's Smile is set at, and where 2 of the past 3 Sec of State went (Clinton and Albright).
