| When you begin your search
for the school that best fits your needs, the first thing you are
likely to look for is the institution of higher learning that offers
you a top-flight academic program. But how do you measure the quality
of education offered by a college or university? And, just as important,
is Wellesley right for you? A good measure to assist you as you
decide if Wellesley is the place for you is to take a look at the
kind of students the College attracts. |
