I wouldn't advise someone to attend Wells if they are not comfortable with a rural area. 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 locationSizeNewly co-ed, things are changing.A few more fields of study would be nicePositive points:SizeProfessors—they're accessablePeopleOverall sense of communityDormsBeautiful Lake view Having Ithaca nearby (an awesome city) Exchange with Cornell
