<p>I am choosing MHC instead of Wellesley college. I am a transfer student (and therefore older) so my criterias are probably different from your d’s. I visited both, I had interviews with both, I recieved almost full scholarships from both (including Smith College), but I found Wellesley to be very…snob. I do not know if you will have a problem with that, but it was not a right fit for me. Also I attended classes at both colleges and I was very dissapointed with the level of immaturity and lack of tolerance (international,political, religious, economical) that most of the Wellesley women showed. I am someone who is fluent in four languages and in my family all three monotheistic religions (and some more) exist and I just could not handle that kind of tension. Also, Wellesley takes pride in its diversity, but the truth is that I did not see any: most of the students were upper class, white, wealthy and of course legacies. MHC was very different from Wellesley and they accept you as you are: as a human that is not perfect and they cherish your uniqueness and assets. Needless to say both colleges provide superb education, but MHC fitted me the best (and to think that it was NOT my first choice; Wellesley was). All the best!</p>
