Wellesley College

Wellesley, MA

Wellesley College says, "Inquiry and intellectual exchange lead to disciplined thinking. Wellesley challenges students to explore widely, interrogate closely, and make the creative leaps-synthesizing disparate ideas, perspectives, and experiences-that lead to new levels of understanding. A culture of collaboration (with our world-class faculty as well as with her peers) refines a student's intellectual habits, hones her judgment, and increases her sense of mastery, as well as teaching her to take a considered position and defend it with conviction."
