Wellesley College

Report Card

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The nightlife stinks, it’s too darn strict, and students constantly battle the fear of four years of celibacy. Hold on, why do Wellesley students love this place again? Oh, right—the academics rock, it’s possible to make shockingly amazing friends, the campus is gorgeous, and graduates wind up with a prestigious name on their diplomas. Some students might feel they’re missing out by coming to Wellesley, while others say they’re gaining incredible resources of support, critical thinking, and endurance. Whether or not they’re happy about it, this latter group is right.

A community like Wellesley College would be difficult to achieve in a coed environment because living at Wellesley is like living with 2,300 sisters—you complain, you fight, and you talk about sex in ridiculously frank ways. You hate and love each other at the same time. Wellesley is intense and bizarre, both restrictive and liberating. Students learn to adapt, or they learn to overcome.

The CWS

The Center for Work and Service is excellent at Wellesley. After you graduate, you are still given advice and information about job placement. The Alumnae network is fantastic as well. You can shadow just about anyone on the 30,000 alumna network.

Cold. Bring Your Jacket.

I am from the area, but the weather is not the most pleasant. One day it's 50 degree weather, then the next it is in the teens. I wouldn't reccomend the school based on its weather. Once the weather is nice, it is perfect, though.

A-

Very Safe.

Since Wellesley is an all women's college, the security is taken very seriously. I have never felt unsafe walking across campus. There is even an escort van after dark if you ever feel unsafe. The honor code is strictly enforced on campus as well, so even the lightest of crimes is severely punished. I've never had an issue or incident. The only real issue is the drinking at parties on campus and the theft of food from the hallway refridgerators.
