Campus Visit Notes for Wellesley College:
Visit Description:
We visited here as a part of the second college tour. We were overwhelmed by the friendliness and approachability of everyone we saw. DD was very impressed by two students she met in the bookstore. Both told her how much they loved W. and encouraged her to consider it strongly. What struck her was how different their backgrounds were (one on full scholarship and one receiving no college monies), and yet they were now best friends.
Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):
Great location near Boston.
