Wellesley






Wellesley is an all female school with a great tradition and very high standards. Current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is an alum and the network of alumnae is said to be one of the school's strengths. Nearly all of the 2400 students live on campus and the retention rate is very high. Upon graduation most students continue their education at some type of graduate school.

The workload is said to be challenging and professors are said to be tough graders. English, Economics, Psychology and International Relations are the most popular majors. Students (including male students)from nearby Babson and Olin can take clases at Wellesley and probably do so for foreign language clases more than any other.

Social life is typical. Boys from other colleges do find their way to Wellesley for parties and events and girls from here are welcome at social events at the two neighboring schools as well as at MIT.
