What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
Well the first bit of advice I?d give myself is not to become too involved your first year. There is plenty of time to experience all of what college has to offer, but take it slow. Don?t hang out with friends all the time; get your work done first. Otherwise reading will pile up and set you back even further than before. Also learn to research by using books from other libraries. The facts from books will make your arguments much stronger. Go to your professors in the very beginning of an assignment with what you believe was assigned. By talking with your professors early on you find out exactly what they want. Be productive and don?t let yourself become distracted by working in your room or around friends. Go to quite places like the library whenever doing an assignment. Beware of partying too much, it might be fun that night; but when you wake up the next morning and realize you have a 10 page due tomorrow, the fun kind of vanishes. You have to remember why you applied to college in the first place, to learn and become successful at what you want to be.

A person who is looking to party all the time and float along through academics. Wells College is a place where academics come first, then clubs and athletics, lastly social life outside of those two. Classes are small, so you won't be a number, which means floating along just doesn't happen. A person who doesn't enjoy tradition would not enjoy Wells, we are deeply rooted in our traditions and connections to our history with other Wells alums. Lastly, a person who is ignorant wouldn't like Wells because we have no tolerance for intolerance.

Read all 5 answers What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
The most frustating thing is the location, as it can make it hard to get to places or get items you need as a student. There are shuttles that run to Ithaca, a close city (about 40min away), however the shuttle times aren't always the most convienient. This also causes students to not be able to do things most other college students can easily do or have within walking distance such as restaurants, movie theatres, bowling alleys etc.
