<p>Vassar College is more of an artsy school. It has a fantastic theater department and alums such as Meryl Streep and Justin Long attended there. But don’t get me wrong, I heard some nice things about their science program, but it’s not famous for that. Vassar’s in Poughkeepsie, so it’s sort of isolated and boring. But then, students can go to NYC whenever they want. The students at Vassar are not nearly as diverse as Wellesley. There are small numbers of minorities. </p>
<p>Wellesley College is a little more well rounded. It has fantastic political science, economics, biology, and psychology programs. Alums such as Hilary Clinton and Nora Ephron graduated from there. It doesn’t have an engineering school, but it’s really close to both MIT and Olin, so students can take classes from other schools. Wellesley and MIT has a cross registration program, which is really nice because it gives students the opportunity to study in a different environment. Wellesley, MA is not so exciting, but it’s really close to Boston. And in my opinion (this is a little biased), Wellesley’s campus is so much prettier than Vassar’s :p</p>
<p>Both of them are fantastic schools (in fact, Vassar was actually my second choice), it just depends on which you prefer. I hope this is hopeful. Good luck! :)</p>
