<p>There are ridiculously great ways to fill the requirements. And, if you find that there are simply too many classes to take and you can’t do all of them … audit. You get the exposure and the content without the extra work. A friend and I thought about auditing an econ class, but we never got around to it. The only downside is that auditors aren’t generally allowed to participate in class discussion.</p>
<p>Please don’t let the distribution requirements keep you from seriously considering Wellesley. There are so many wonderful opportunities to be had in them, and there are many other great facets to the school. Our student government is active, strong, and influential; students are continuously creating new organizations; the professors are amazing and committed to teaching; the whole environment challenges you to stretch and grow and think about new ideas; the students, faculty, and staff are supportive and welcoming. Most of all, people talk to each other. Whether through organizations or simply through online fora, most everyone knows what’s going on. You have a voice, you can hear what others have to say, and you can actively participate in the community happenings.</p>
