[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've taught at Wellesley and interviewed at Bryn Mawr. Wellesley is bigger in every way. The students are really smart, motivated, nice. It's a great place. I would say their confidence is sky high, more so than coed colleges, but not because there is a man-hating indoctrination program, which is a ridiculous claim to assert.[/quote]

How would you say they compared to the Bryn Mawr students?[/quote]
I would also like to know more about this. DD is interested in both and has the stats for both but wants to attend a college where students are kind, supportive and friendly. She is politically moderate, hard working but not super ambitious. Interested in the life sciences but loves English and history [/quote]

Unless it's a free education, please don't send your daughter to either of these schools if she is a moderate, unless she is willing to shut up and keep her opinions to herself. The English and History departments specially at Wellesley have been taken over by radical feminists who will force their doctrines on your daughter in every class she takes.

Having said that, If you had to choose between the two, go to Wellesley. Their curriculum is stronger and expects more from the students than Bryn Mawr's curriculum where a student can graduate with a BS degree without taking a survey course in Literature, foreign language, US history or economics. Math and Science requirements are also watered down.

I don't understand why parents rely on marketing brochures and don't conduct a proctology exam of the curriculum at some of these colleges before spending so much money on them. It's a shame[/quote]
I am not sure how to research the quality of classes at a college   Are there colleges in the NE or Mid Atlantic that you would recommend- preferably in a suburban or urban location [/quote]
