Is Wellesley really the #1 women's college? What does Moho think?

<p>I keep hearing that Wellesley is the number one women's college in the US, but how did that reputation come to be? Is it deserved? Is the quality of the education at Wellesley better? If so, is it logical to choose Wellesley over the other all-women 7 sisters colleges for this reason?</p>

<p>[I'm posting this is the Wellesley, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, and Barnard forums]</p>

<p>I don't think the ranking really matters, it really depends on which school is right for you.<br>
I do know that Wellesley is no. 4 in liberal arts colleges (or something like that...) but there are other great women's colleges that may not share the same rank. I think it's more that people get so stuck on numbers and rankings. If people didn't pay attention to the rankings, then they wouldn't matter so much, they only matter because people allow them to... i think im going off topic lol</p>

<p>I agree with Faelivren. Each of these schools offers something different, and I really don't think they can be compared. :D</p>

<p>I disagree with both of you</p>
