Hi, and thanks for reading my article! In response to Eliza I am by no means demeaning women's colleges, hey there's a reason why I applied in the first place! The fact that Wellesley is a women's college is only one of the reasons I don't want to attend, but it is a reason. I completely understand the goal of women's colleges to empower women, I think that's great, however I KNOW that I want a classroom setting that includes both sexes. I am already a very empowered woman, and I want the opportunity to test myself in an environment that includes men. I am completely sure that Wellesley includes women who have social lives that include men, but a sizable group (this statement is based totally on current Wellesley students I have spoken with) do not. I also have heard nothing but good from alumni of Wellesley, who all seem to go on to do amazing things. What I'm trying to say is I'm all for the women's college, just not for me. Bethany
