<p>Definitely visit Special Collections. The librarian is wonderful, and the collection really is stunning, thanks to substantial donations. The collection holds ancient papyri, a charter signed by Emperor Otto III, a leaf from a Gutenburg Bible, countless books of hours and Bibles, a great selection of artists' books, and a beautiful (recently rennovated) space. There's almost always a display/exhibit up, and a visit will introduce you to the other best parts of Clapp: archives, and the book lab.</p>

<p>Okay. Enough raptures of delight :-P</p>

<p>My daughter is deciding between Wellesley and Duke - very different schools. Any comments, suggestions, comparisons anyone can make?</p>

<p>I am deciding between Duke and Wellesley. Wellesley gave me a lot of money. I am still waiting for duke. :/</p>

44

<p>Oh please, message me when you get your $ info. from Duke. My d got about the same amount of aid from each school - you probably will too.
Do you have a preference? thanks for responding to my post.</p>

<p>I like some qualities about both schools. I will list them.
Wellesley:
-the campus is absolutely stunning. It's absolutely beautiful
-You can take classes at Harvard and MIT
-The teachers will challenge you and they are EXTREMELY dedicated.
-It's all girls school so there are no boys distractions. However at the same time, if girls want to meet boys, then they can go nearby colleges.
-Wellesley is ranked as top 4 in liberal arts schools in the nation.
-The Wellesley girls are very politically active.
-Boston is ..such a nice city...
Duke:
-large school. you get to meet more people.
-North Carolina-warm
-top 4 in the national university
-BEST BASKETBALL TEAM!!!
-best medical school.
-it's non liberal arts (stronger science program)</p>

<p>:(I like both schools. I am leaning towards Duke but it's very hard to turn down 36 K.</p>

46

<p>same problem, different school.</p>

47

<p>A non liberal arts environment does not mean a stronger science program, especially with top tier LAC's. It just means that you're not likely to receive career-specific training.</p>

48

<p>oh toffee - i hope you choose wellesley so i will get to yell "TOFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" everytime i see you at wellesley.</p>

<p>meh, who needs stinky boys.

<p>Accepted: UF, Wellesley, UPenn, Duke, Emory and Oxford C., Tulane
Waitlisted:...
Rejected:...</p>

<p>Wellesley gave me the most financial aid out of the 5 schools I'd consider going to. Duke gave me the least amount, so that rules it out pretty much, and I don't want to be with my sister all my life.
I narrowed it down to Wellesley and Emory, just Emory because it's closer to home, in Miami.</p>

<p>I think I will go to Wellesley though. Hopefully I can still have a social life :-/</p>

55

<p>:/at least you heard from duke on financial aid....:(they STILL havne't sent me anything on financial aid yet and they claim that they've sent it. Sigh, I give up on duke.</p>

56

<p>um, i'm a transfer who just got into wellesley, and.... can i come boy shopping at harvard with you guys? and i'm in vermont right now, so i can bring the maple syrup....</p>
