<p>I’m 17 now, like you (turning 18 next year, though I’m a few months older than you). I love my classes here to death (amazing, amazing professors). I’m not entirely happy with living here, but that’s because I’m a big city kind of girl and Wellesley’s a calmer, smaller place. It’s intensly academic, down-to-earth, and serious; but also incorporates lots of the fun things you associate with college–clubs, activities, and a lot of in-class fun (last week we had a guy come and rap the Canterbury Tales to my Chaucer class, and today my Romantic Poetry class is having a Byron Fest, complete with Greek food and movies). I’d say that as somebody who entered college young, it’s an extremely supportive and comfortable environment. Are you thinking of transferring?</p>
