<p>Hi, I’m not a political science major but I take a lot of classes in the department and I think that one of the most incredible things about the department is how invested and active the professors are in their fields. I was in a seminar last fall that focused on the Presidential campaign and on the day after the election, my professor arranged for one of her friends- a former editor of the Washington Post- to come and re-hash the results with us. Another Poly Sci professor (Robert Paarlberg) testified before the US senate committee on Foreign relations just last month. This is true of most Wellelsey departments and not just Political Science but I think it sets Wellesley apart from many other schools. Just my two cents 
Good luck though- both schools are amazing!</p>
