My College Visits



Wellesley College

Like you, we're often on the road visiting colleges and universities across the United States. I've recently returned from visiting Babson College, Olin College of Engineering, and Wellesley College.  Although each school is unique, perhaps what is most interesting about them is the collaborative program that they have with each other.  For example, you may be interested in pursuing chemical engineering at Olin, but you can combine that with entrepreneurship at Babson.  Or you may study business at Babson, but want to combine that with a language study from Wellesley.  There are all sorts of combinations.

Babson College specializes in business and entrepreneurship, in fact it's entirely devoted to it; Olin College is devoted to engineering and specializes in its project based approach to the subject.  Both schools emphasize collaborative learning, and the networking and internship possibilities are   excellent!  Wellesley College, of course, is an all-women's college, but rather than turn up your nose at the thought of it, you should at least take a look.  Just walking the halls with all the pictures of their famous alumni - Madeleine Albright, Hillary Clinton, Nora Ephron, Diane Sawyer - just to name a few. It's an outstanding school for the natural sciences, political science, international relations...just about everything!  Each school is different, but individually and together, they're worth considering.
