<p>Wesleyan has a much more “hippie” culture. I’d say Vassar does have a bit of a more classical feel to its music dept, but having looked into Wesleyan’s econ dept I can definitely say Vassar offers greater depth and breadth in terms of its economics courses. Wesleyan is more science-y than Vassar, whereas Vassar is more focused on humanities and social sciences (econ being the 2nd most popular major, after English). The concerts and performing arts shows are HUGE at Vassar, so if you want to see performances it’s an amazing place for that, too.</p>
