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 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
