Wells college Reviews

Stunning campus. Had the pleasure of waking around campus, exploring the buildings, reading about the history. Such a quant, old, and interesting campus.

Choosing Wells College was the best decision of my life. The education, community and environment shaped me into the professional and person I am today.

I have played their golf course on several occasions. What a great course! Only 9 holes but it makes you think on each hole.
Fairways are good but new management is making it better. Greens are great! Well kept, they hold a good approach shot, and putt true.
Sand traps are under improvement. Waiting to try one out.

This gem of a school taught me to speak truth to power, make my own way, and stand tall on the shoulders of the sisters who came before, as the future sisters will surely stand on mine. A deep respect for tradition and an eye to the future make for a unique college experience. I know Wells is much of the reason I went on to vet school and practice ownership.

I'm a member of the class of 2005. Wells College provided me with an amazing education and experience. Class sizes are small and you get to work closely with professors on your education. The setting is gorgeous and right on the lake, making you feel like you live in paradise. While it may seem remote, there are shuttle vans going to Ithaca every few hours so even if you don't have a car you can access shops and groceries easily. The friendships I made at Wells still remain strong to this day 16 years later and will last a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and take a look at Wells for your undergraduate education. It truly is one of a kind!

I attended Wells planning to stay only a year or so, then transfer to a larger university. But I fell in love with the place, the people, the challenge, and the opportunity. So happily stayed for four years. Now, years later, friendships remain, life choices were strongly influenced by Wells and the family I became part of there. The quality of education was incredibly strong (I later pursued a career in higher education and discovered how many opportunities I had at Wells that simply are not part of the "usual" college experience.)

The stunning campus was just the right size for me - enough people to have a variety of experiences, not so many as to feel lost in a crowd. I got close to professors, participated in sports, theatre, and social activities, and spent a year studying in Europe. I was well prepared for the work world, I still have friends I made during college, and I thoroughly enjoyed my 4 years at Wells.

I may be biased as a current employee (I work in the advancement office with our alums) but I loved my experience as a student at Wells from 2002-2006. This is a great college if you want small class sizes, a BEAUTIFUL campus, and lots of opportunities to be creative with your extracurricular activies & chances to be a leader. There are lots of special traditions, wonderful faculty and staff, and simply the best sunsets around. It is more convenient if you have a car as Ithaca, Auburn, and Syracuse are between 30-60 minutes away- my advice is to definitely visit campus and know that rural New York gives you lots of opportunities to make your own fun. Wells is special and I would do it all over again if could! Definitely worth checking out!

Wells gave me my voice, inspired possibilities. At Wells, I not only refined the core concrete skills which have enabled me to have a fruitful, rewarding and long (still going) career, I also found the courage to branch out on a life of continuous learning to play the global roles I have so greatly enjoyed.

Wells College gave me so much more than an education. It has given me lifelong friends and experiences I wouldn t have otherwise have the opportunity to have! Go visit Wells in the bucolic setting of Aurora NY.
