If you plan on majoring in English, from what I’ve heard, Wellesley is clearly a better choice. If you’d like to concentrate in Film and Media, you will get access to Pitzer’s course offerings in this area at Scripps. Wellesley is definitely not a nursery school, like someone mentioned on another thread, but neither is the real world. Sacrifice in lifestyle? I do not think my child has experienced any. My daughter found a circle of friends at Wellesley, met and befriended new people at other local colleges, went to many parties and concerts in Boston… You can definitely have “quality life” at Wellesley.
The final decision will be up to you. You can’t go wrong with either school. Go with your gut feeling, don’t look back and don’t regret your decision. Good luck to you.
