<p>So I know by posting this on the Vassar forum any advice might be a little biased ;) But I'm really torn between the two schools and would love any advice or perspective.</p>
<p>I really like the small LAC vibe, which is why I'm picking W or V over some bigger schools I've gotten into. I'm planning on majoring in Cognitive Science or Linguistics with a minor in Education, though I'm also fairly interested in biology, anthropology and French. </p>
<p>I like that Wellesley has a beautiful campus, great alumni network and excellent reputation, and it seems like an all-girls school would lead to making some life-long friends... though all estrogen all the time seems hard to imagine.</p>
<p>But Vassar seems to have a lot of the same qualities, and while Poughkeepsie isn't as lively as Boston it's near NYC and I have family there. I also like that it's co-ed, I'm a little uncertain about going to an all-female school. I haven't visited the campus though (I visited W) so I'm not sure what it is like, though I've seen pictures.</p>
<p>I really don't know which one to pick. My parents prefer Wellesley because they feel it has a better reputation and potential for jobs after college, but I'm indecisive :\ I know it's a bad idea to listen to stereotypes but I've heard how W women can be overly clique-y or too driven, while V is a place for hippies and people who "don't really fit in" anywhere else (I know these are stereotypes and I love both schools, just wondering if there is some truth).</p>
<p>Anyway I know this is long and rambly and I should just go with my gut and pick one, but I'd love any input. Thanks!</p>
