Wellesley College was registered by the local squire Durant and his wife in 1870. However, due to the funds and procedures, it was not until September 8, 1875 that the first student entered the gate of Wellesley.

This unique system of college dormitory integration has been maintained for nearly 40 years. In 1914, a Chemical Laboratory The accident fire in Wellesley Women's College Heavy loss of personnel, important books, research data The loss was exhausted, and the College Hall was completely destroyed.

So, after that, Wellesley Women's College also began to establish a set of modernization in a proper way teaching facilities System. The Tower Court Complex (including Claflin Hall, Severance Hall, and Tower Court) in the student dormitory is built on the site of College Hall.

On March 17, 1914, the college hall was set on fire. Although no one was killed, Wellesley College suffered the loss of the most central building on the campus. After the tragedy of university reconstruction, nine buildings will be built in the next 17 years, and the campus academic center will be located in Norumbega Hill.^[4]

In this In college 60% of the class size is below 20, so it is easy for students to establish close personal friendship with professors. The students all praised the professor for attaching importance to teaching. The professor contacted the students in various ways, and even the class time was very flexible, depending on the convenience of the students.

Wellesley Yeah AP Credits are very limited, grade registrar The website of Class Deans is still in accordance with the regulations that were launched in the fall of 2006. The maximum number of AP credits on the transcript is 4, and the maximum number of credits in a department is 2. However, AP credits that are not written on the transcript can be skipped by negotiating with departments in relevant disciplines Basic courses Objective. My personal experience is that if some students get 5 points in the Advanced Placement Exams (the full score of each AP is 5 points, and the scores of three or more points can be used to declare most of them American public universities ) has not been certified by the school, or even though they can be certified, they skip basic science courses, which is not only boring when repeating science courses, but also because students of liberal arts Their characteristics are different from their own, which affects their own learning effect And achievements. In this case, it is difficult to complain. After all, most of the students in this school study arts, even those with good grades Science student Generally, they also major in liberal arts, and the school's policies tend to favor students majoring in humanities and arts.

Wellesley student's cultural background Different. As a private higher education institution, the application form of the admissions office focuses more on exploring students' Writing ability And character. In contrast, public universities are funded by federal government And local government grants, and there are preferential policies on tuition fees and admission system for local students. The public universities after ranking do not require SAT scores. Although the top public universities also require SAT Reasoning Test scores like Wellesley, they generally do not require applicants to submit recommendation And SAT Subject Tests. Only scholarship and Honors Program applicants need to provide recommendation letters and personal declarations.

Wellesley social science Well known four-year system in the field Undergraduate College But it doesn't have its own graduate school like many public universities do. Some Wellesley students go to universities such as MIT, Harvard, Yale for master's or doctoral degrees after graduation, and others go to Related research The leading public university in the field studies for a research doctor, but because it does not have its own graduate school or undergraduate teaching process It mainly depends on professors or senior undergraduates. Wellesley doesn't employ only female professors as it did at the beginning of school. The level of senior undergraduate students is limited science and engineering The expertise in the field is often inferior to First class university Graduate students in related fields. Male professorial Knowledge level Although not low, their theoretical level in natural science is often inferior to that of science and engineering professors in first-class research institutions of higher learning.

Note: AP Exams, SAT Reasoning Tests and SAT Subjects Tests are all examinations sponsored by CollegeBoard, a subordinate of ETS.

personnel training

Wellesley College also has a "honor system" praised by students: the school trusts students and allows them to final exam At any time within a week, take the exam without the invigilator - of course, if anyone abuses this trust and dares to cheat, the consequences will be unimaginable once found. Here, the "invigilator" is for every student Sense of honor And conscientiousness ； The students' hearts were comforted and corrected.

Wellesley students can participate in the CLUSTER - PROGRAM if they want: 75 freshmen with the same interests can live together, and half of their class hours are used to study the artistic, literary, political and scientific achievements of a certain historical period.

When it comes to money, as long as we are admitted to Wesleyan College, there is no need to worry about it: the college provides financial aid to all - all - students with financial difficulties.
