Wellesley College

Major: History/Histories (art history/etc.) (This Major's Salary over time)
Good: At Wellesley, you have the ability to make really close friends. There are opportunities to stidy abroad and get internships. There is an amazing amount of classes to choose from.

Bad: There is NO social life at Wellesley. If you want fun, you have to leave this campus. Find people who like to have fun if at all possible. Friday nights for some means studying. During finals, the library is open until midnight on Saturdays and people are there until midnight. There are infrequent parties on campus. When groups do plan parties, they all happen to fall on the same night. This means there may be four parties one night and none for the rest of the night.

Students spend a lot of time complaining about little things. There may notbe cattiness in the high school sense, but there is some. If you're a conservative be prepared to have to justify yourself on a daily basis, because liberals here shove their beliefs down your throat. The over PCness can get to you. People can get very rude with eachother over things that don't matter. Community is the "I want to bitch now" forum.

Grade deflation is another thing Wellesley students bitch about. There seems to be a sense of entitlement here.

If I had to do it again, i would have NEVER applied to Wellesley. I was disappointed in my high school experience before and Wellesley has crushed any hope for some fun in my teenage years.
