Wesleyan offers

Some of the best arts environment that I know of. If she’s arty (music, theater, writing, etc) she might want to look a second time at Wesleyan. To my mind this is the single biggest reason to consider Wesleyan. They have educated many outstanding artists and the breadth of their music offerings is pretty outrageous.

Men on campus and in classes

Some Greek life-- some people want this as part of their experience and for teh networking.

Oh, I can think of a few more things to recommend about Wesleyan. Wesleyan and Smith both have excellent access to tax-supported STEM research - among the highest in the national LAC category. Wesleyan has the added bonus of being able to award graduating seniors with masters degrees in two semesters - for free.

The Wesleyan alumni network isn’t limited to the arts: former FDA director, Scott Gottlieb, Colorado Senator Michael Bennet, Senate hopeful, John Hickenlooper, PBS reporter John Yang, one Federal Reserve Board member Lael Brainard, the founder of Southwest Airlines, a freshman representative from Staten Island, authors Robin Cook, Robert Ludlum and Sebastian Junger - all graduated from Wesleyan.

But, the bottom line here is: Go where your heart tells you to go.
