How would you say they compared to the Bryn Mawr students?

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

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

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

Please. If you really taught at Wellesley and were not a left wing idealogue, you would know that the teaching environment here is insufferable and if you stray even a little from the approved leftist doctrinal position, you are toast. The way you phrased your reply strongly suggests that you are a leftist gender feminist who is an apologist for the school and its students. Btw, don't you know by now that confidence and self esteem have nothing to do with achievements contrary to what the gender feminist establishment wants you to believe so they can grab more power? African American high school boys have higher confidence than African American high school girls, who have more confidence than white high school boys and girls. Confidence has however done nothing for their academic performance. So having "sky high" confidence may actually mean that you are deluded and not thinking straight.

If you have indeed taught at Wellesley, I pity the students because your arguments betray your lack of intellectual gravitas and ability to think logically

If this is the best thing you learned at Wellesley, then you wasted your money. News and history are about people who make news and history.. 99% of people, both men and women that ever existed would not be featured in news and history.Till recently women didn't have a lot to contribute to these areas because of the way society was organized. You can't write them back into stories where they contributed little just because you want to see them there. That is dumb and ideologically motivated but that is what they teach you at Wellesley.

I kind of agree with that above. When you go to an all girls school you realize how sexist your previous classes have been. “Step back and let the men speak” that was me in grad school.

We will help your daughter discover the extent to which she has been complicit with the patriarchy. We will encourage her to reconstruct herself through dialog with us. She may become enraged or chronically offended. She may very well reject the religious and moral codes you raised her with. She may even distance herself from family and friends. She may change her appearance and even her sexual orientation. She may end up hating you, her father and pitying you, her mother. After her education with us, you will most certainly be out of tens of thousands of dollars and very possibly one daughter as well

Get a grip.

Check this video out. Pretty scary

Why pay good money to send your kid here, unless you also think this way?
