The college itself doesn't have much around it--you make your own entertainment. You have to go on van runs to Ithaca if you want something different to do. It's an overall warm and cozy community. Sometimes, it can be a little too small. The academics are challenging but not so much that you can't have a social life. The dorms are great. Most of the Professors are pretty darn good. It's the people, traditions and atmosphere that really makes Wells what it is. Visit. If you like it, you'll know. It's a great school but it doesn't fit everyone's needs. (No college does.) It negative points: Rural location Size Newly co-ed, things are changing. A few more fields of study would be nice Positive points: Size Professors--they're accessable People Overall sense of community Dorms Beautiful Lake view Having Ithaca nearby (an awesome city) Exchange with Cornell Faculty Accessibility: A+, Surrounding City: C- Have a Question?

Students are encouraged to do individual, original research and try new things. The liberal arts education is truly embraced. Faculty make an effort to make each student's experience at Wells one that is unique to that student. They do not merely reuse course material each semester, but tailor the course to each individual class. Students are not just a number, but known to faculty, staff, and administration by name. Strong community and personal interaction are two descriptions which perfectly illustrate Wells, and I might add set Wells apart from most other institutions.

The classes are so small that the teacher has your cell phone number, room address, both emails and what your favorite hobby is. However, this university is a 20 to 30 minute drive to any resource such as walmart. And the school spiked its tuition rate 40% for all incoming students. So weigh your odds. I'm a male who came here for a great education and the chance to start a new athletic program but in the end got really bored. Perceived Campus Safety: A+, Surrounding City: F Have a Question?
