Just seeing this now. I won’t reiterate the Wesleyan discussion. Looks like that is covered. My D heard all of the Weslyan/Wellesley plus which “[statename] Wesleyan?”
Before transferring away, I went to Washington College in Maryland. Not Washington University in St. Louis. Not University of Washington.
On another note, I told a neighbor back when my S got into college that he was going to Columbia, and she said–“Oh that’s that teacher’s college, right?”
