[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was so used to the Smith experience that it was difficult learning to compete with men in the work world.

I'm a Wellesley alum and have never felt that I was unprepared to compete with men, nor have I ever heard another Wellesley alum say this.  Just one case in point, Hilary Rodham Clinton (Wellesley '69) seems pretty comfortable competing with men -- as well as working in cooperation with them.

I'm not trying to dismiss your experience, PP, but I wonder if your feelings can really be attributed to your experience at a women's college; perhaps that would have been the case regardless of where you attended college.       [/quote]

I'm a Wellesley alum too, and like the pp, I have never felt unprepared to compete with men.  Just the opposite.

I notice that all the rave reviews on this post are from Wellesley alums, and all the hesitations are either second hand or from alums of other schools. While Wellesley has a lot in common with fellow Seven Sisters schools, the schools have differences as well.   It's similar to a post asking "Thoughts on Ohio State?" and a few replies with experiences of Penn State alums.  They are both big schools with several things in common, but not the same experiences.[/quote]
