Sat, 22 Apr 2006 08:29:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author hist350 - It is impossible to have a balanced life if you attend Wellesley College. There is monumental pressure to join in whatever student activity, organization, or petition comes your way. If you are an independent person, if you like to work at a job...

Sat, 29 May 2004 04:43:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author slc7 - This review is aimed more toward the social aspect rather than the academic. You can find academic reviews almost anywhere, but true comments on the social are lacking....so here goes. (My daughter is a current student) This school is for the woman...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mlturner - When I applied to Wellesley, my high school guidance counselor told me that my experience at a women's college would be much like that of a co-ed school. Boy was he off base, way off. That doesn't mean that I regret my decision, just that I wish I had...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mlturner - Although Wellesley offers a rigorous (read tough) academic program, each student has a lot of control over their academic experience, from choosing a major, scheduling classes, or electing to take an exam or write a paper in many courses. I learned a...

Fri, 31 Mar 2000 12:52:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenlee - Even if Wellesley lacked any redeeming qualities at all, I would never insult their food service. I've eaten at many campus dining halls in Boston, including Harvard, MIT, BU, BC, and Tufts. The only campus food that beats Wellesley is BU, and that is...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Wuthering - As a recent graduate who has continued on to law school, I have to add my opinion to this list because I fear not doing so would continue the mistake that is often made whenever women tell others about Wellesley College, namely that people never really...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author LPrincess - Last Spring I began the college search. I was looking for a school with a beautiful campus and strong academic programs. At first, the all women college thing didn't appeal to me very much, but once i visited Wellesley, it didn't matter anymore. After...
