Hey there, I have just returned from a weekend trip to Massachusetts! I visited Boston University, Mount Holyoke College, and Wellesley College. I thought I would return to Dallas with my heart set on one of these schools, but I have encountered a slight problem – I pretty much fell in love with Mount Holyoke AND Wellesley. One thing I do know, I’ll end up where I am supposed to be!
I learned that it is really a fantastic idea to visit the schools and actually step foot on the campus – for me, simply looking at the websites did not particularly help, as everything kind of looked the same to me. I thought I was going to LOVE Boston University, and I took the tour and realized that I would be much better off in a small liberal arts college. Funny how that works. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am a MAJOR city girl who has grown up in some of the world’s most massive cities, but I just didn’t get that “feeling” from Boston University. It just wasn’t the right place for me.
On the other hand, from the minute Tam and I arrived in South Hadley to visit Mount Holyoke, I was in love. Everything about it, I just loved it. I couldn’t even put a finger on what exactly it was, it just “felt” right. My interview went so much better than I expected, and it was a really great experience.
As for Wellesley, yep, I’m in love again. Haha. The campus was ridiculously, incredibly, amazingly beautiful. Straight out of a movie. Going in to this process, I thought the LAST thing I would need was an all-women’s college. However, I have definitely been enlightened to the benefits of attending an all-women’s school. Besides, I was guaranteed that there are plenty of eligible guys around, considering that the Boston area has enough colleges to keep you counting all night. 
I’m starting the application process soon and hoping, praying, that I can apply to Wellesley for early admissions, if it is where I am supposed to go.
Will keep ya posted!
