Many consider Wellesley one of the top women’s colleges. While Wellesley is small, their campus is large. The School sits on 500 acres and includes gardens, a museum, buildings old and new, beautiful playing fields and a stunning lake. Boston is a short 12 miles away loaded with co-ed schools along with culture, restaurants and history.
