Smith V. Wellesley

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I'm a graduating senior who is trying to decide between Wellesley and Smith. I plan on being a Classics major, although I am also interested in art and theater. I also plan on studying Italian and studying abroad in Italy sometime during college. I was accepted into the Smith STRIDE program, which is certainly a strong selling point. However, I would love to hear from any current or past alumna from either college to help me decide which school has the most to offer me. </p>

<p>How do the schools differ, both academically and socially? How would you describe the typical student at each school? One of my friends described Smith as the '70s and Wellesley as the '80s- do you think this is accurate? </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
