I was deciding between Wellesley and Scripps going into college, too! I chose Wellesley. Like you, I really enjoyed Scripp’s location (sunny California) but, being from the West Coast, I thought that the East coast would be a little more exciting. Also, Wellesley has far more opportunities than Scripps. I would say that it’s the opposite – I would have felt isolated at Scripps, at Wellesley I feel much more connected to the outside world. I heard a lot about the “Claremont Bubble”, students stay on campus. At Wellesley I am constantly going to MIT, Harvard, or elsewhere in Boston. I love it. Wellesley has an amazingly supportive community, my classes are amazing, and I feel like I’m going to be ready to take on the world after I graduate.

Good luck on your choice!
