As a current student at Wellesley it has its ups and downs. I was able to find a great friend group my second semester here. The academics are rigorous and as a transfer from a CC who almost didn’t graduate HS it’s a tough adjustment. Even for the kids who’ve done 15 APs at a boarding school do have trouble. Dating isn’t too bad as many people date men from MIT, Olin, or Babson or even schools like BU and NEU. Pretty much any school in the Boston area people will date. The community here is not as supportive as I thought it’d be. It’s still wonderful but my other options were Smith and Mount Holyoke and they seem to be less competitive and more community oriented. Me and some other transfer students have qualms about the community and self-segregation by class and race.

Wellesley is currently having problems with admin that have soured my opinion on the school. However, my professors, resources for academics + mental health, and 7S alum are wonderful. I was choosing between Wellesley and UVA and sometimes I question my choice but in the end I’m glad I came here. I’m not scared to be wrong in class and ask questions.

Another complaint that even some other students have is that discussions in class are cyclical and don’t add anything new. Most people have the same opinions. Differing opinions aren’t welcome so there isn’t anything new to learn when the same people share the same opinion. I wish there was more broad discussion instead of everyone agreeing. Multiple classes have anti-cancel culture policies to be more open to differing opinions to foster discussion but people still don’t share.

As a non-traditional student Wellesley has been a tough but great environment for me to grow. [/quote]
