Help!! I was admitted to both and can’t decide! Unfortunately, I won’t be able to visit either of them so please give me a sense of where you think is a better fit for me.
Facts about me
-Biology major although I might change to Political Science or History or International relations idk honestly
-I like to do stuff. Go on adventures, trying new food, etc.
-I’m not a huge partier, but I do want to go to parties while also having small group gatherings
-I’m more introverted than extroverted although my Myers Briggs Type is ENFJ
-I’m thinking of going to med or law school
Wesleyan’s FA is worse than Wellesley. I’d have to take on 10k more in loans by the time I graduate.
I’m leaning towards Wellesley BUT I’m apprehensive about its harsh academics and poor social(and dating?) life. I don’t want to be miserable! If anyone has anything to say about them please helppppp
It’s unfortunate you won’t be able to visit either of them. I have not visited Wesleyan (D graduated from Wellesley) but perhaps you can use a website like College P r o w l e r to see comments/reviews to compare the schools? My guess is that Wesleyan is more laid back in atmosphere than Wellesley?
Speaking about Wellesley specifically, my D enjoyed its proximity to Boston and also visited NYC while she attended (we lived in the Midwest). She had an active social life. She is an introvert but made lots of friends and dated (still in a relationship) a guy from MIT.
Wellesley’s academics are fairly intense, but she loved the school and is still close to many classmates. She’s also active in the Alumnae association in her city.
Besides the Financial Aid, you might want to consider how easy/hard it will be to get to campus, if that’s something you will need to navigate by yourself.
Both are top schools and you can get a great education at either place.
