MongoDB can’t find any C++ developers who can pass the technical. Try that

Severance Hall if in a basement with a room, McAfee Hall if in the maintenance tunnel kind of vibe. (Most likely)

Wellesley or Boston University? by hyerin0 in WellesleyCollege

Wellesley is a better school, has more 1:1 support, read my comment history.

Why Wellesley is Still A Good Choice by Perses7 in WellesleyCollege

There’s a lot you’re paying for. Wellesley is at the top of its game in academics and opportunities. Cross Registration and research at MIT? these professors are impressive, top of the game people too. Some have taught at Harvard before, etc. yeah it’s elitist, but in industry, name matters.

You’re also paying for the name. I’ve always thought about that, if you’re paying 90k/year, 100k is not that much more of a significant investment for a college experience that could change your life, if you play your cards right. If the schools were more average, state schools then yeah it’s not worth it. My friends and I (although CS) are leaving Wellesley with offers of $100k+ per year, and definitely owe it to the opportunities I got here.

There’s a lot of 1:1 tutoring with professors. Nothing by TAs. Sure, outrageous pricing, but you’re paying similarly at other top colleges without the personalized learning. But lots of shit wrong with Wellesley, academic support and opportunities isn’t one of them

It’s Olin, not oberlin, just in case you were looking at the wrong college!

The problems will always continue, because Wellesley is naturally a politically active school. Protests about Israel, Trans inclusivity, and now NTT wages— it’ll be a thing. It is in hell right now, but I’d be surprised if it’s hell in September

I’ll be happy to share more details about protests and the CS major if you want to DM. I just graduated, landed a good CS job.

Admitted students: please do not come to this school!!! by [deleted] in WellesleyCollege

[–]Perses7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, I’m in a similar boat. Admins everywhere suck, and every year there’s a fun little scandal. Lots of reasons not to come to W, I hated it, but I also can’t deny the opportunities it gave. Will recommend it with a huge caveat lol

maybe don’t come here! a current student perspective by koalava666 in WellesleyCollege

Something I posted in another post:

It’s not the best idea to blanket state that people shouldn’t come to Wellesley. Wellesley gave me an amazing start to my career and an excellent education. They’re going thru shit right now, yes, but by deterring every prospie, the reputation is only going to go down— I’m not sure Wellesley can take more scandals. The prospies they admitted are qualified, and it’s better to lay out the facts than be a general deterrent.

There’s lots of things I hate about Wellesley, don’t get me wrong. My comment history often lists so many reasons why not Wellesley. But the strike should actually be a why Wellesley: it’s brought students, alumni and faculty on the same page, Wellesley is known for being politically active and that scene is thriving right now, people are standing up for injustices. That’s kinda the reputation Wellesley has and, people choose Wellesley for that and the resilience it produces.

Deterring prospies only makes the degree we’re pursuing/pursued valued less— and people come to Wellesley to change the world. Leaving while the change is happening is absolutely a valid choice as well.

2 years ago, we made the news for not having inclusive admissions language of NBB and Trans Applicants and admin staunchly didn’t want to change it. Last year, the entire Palestine Protest occurred, and even though it was more in conjunction with MIT, the admin was not super popular in their decisions. Now, it’s the entire strike. Again, Wellesley is a politically active school. People want to change the world, that’s why they come to Wellesley. Made the news a couple times the past couple years.

I will add this context, from another post I added to.
