<p>Hello, </p>
<p>I am a new user, so I'm not quite sure how this works - I'm sorry if I'm cluttering the site with another similar post, but I'm starting a new thread because my interests might be different enough to make this a completely new topic. Um, sorry for the long intro ^^;;</p>
<p>If it's not too much trouble, could anyone please tell me his/her opinion on the two colleges? Academically speaking as well as about the overall college experience. To clarify, I applied for Georgetown College, and might have accidentally chosen the School of Languages and Linguistics (which I'm not completely uninterested in, but isn't a definitive choice I want to make as a first-year). </p>
<p>I'm mostly interested in the liberal arts, specifically Comp. Lit/English, which is why I'm conflicted about the whole situation. From what I gathered on the internet, Wellesley is a great liberal arts college, and after attending the Spring Open Campus, it seemed that the English major is very popular (in which case it must be very impressive?). What worries me is that I didn't get a clear idea as to how the classes were taught and what made the courses unique. I didn't get much out of the academic department fair and I couldn't attend the literature classes because they were already full by the time I arrived. To be honest, I was kind of disappointed by how cold and slightly standoffish the students were, but maybe they were just having a bad day...who knows? Also, what I didn't like was how clique-y the students seemed to be; despite their emphasis on sisterhood, I really didn't get that sort of sisterly feeling. </p>
<p>As for Georgetown, the friendly atmosphere convinced me that it would be a good fit for someone unusually shy like me. Although I know that it's a much more socially engaged campus than would be considered a comfortable place for shy people, I thought that it would perhaps draw me out of my hermit cave? Moreover, I felt that the people were really well-spoken and sure of themselves, but I hope it's not misleading since I suspect that it may just be the school's strong, diplomatic ability to promote ideas. Ultimately though, I know Georgetown is the place to go for political science and international affairs rather than for comparative literature, which is a very small department (which could go both ways since I would receive more attention, but probably wouldn't get a very thorough literary experience). </p>
<p>These were my impressions when I visited both schools. I hope I got my interests across clearly...</p>
<p>If anyone could reply soon, I'd really appreciate it! The deadline is coming up soon, so I'm afraid my indecisiveness must come to an end >_<</p>
