<p>My daughter is an evangelical Christian, politically middle of the road (but very conservative on issues like abortion and euthanasia), hetero, artsy and musical, and she loves Wellesley. She was offered generous merit scholarships at Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke, but chose Wellesley, because she felt that it was more committed to “liberal arts” than “liberal.” Her sense is that intellectual engagement is more important at Wellesley than ideology, although she has encountered more than a few “in your face” types, most notably the person who got angry at her for selling t-shirts referring to W as a women’s college, because “not all of us subscribe to the gender binary.” But I think this is pretty rare!</p>
