Wells College is a beautiful hidden gem of upstate New York. The campus, students, and faculty foster a welcoming atmosphere. I love being somewhere with so much history and community!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I recommend that all prospective students visit the campus because it is impossible to not fall in love with it once you are here.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
I love that I am met with challenges in my education. All of my professors help me broaden my perspective and adopt new understandings about various subjects.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I love living on campus. The dorm rooms at Wells are bigger than most and the Res Life Staff really does accommodate any needs you may have. It stays relatively quiet so you can live on whatever schedule you choose and I really appreciate that. The bathrooms were also recently redone making it nicer than being at home.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
We have a dining hall, pub/pizza shop, and a cafe. The dining hall is relatively average. The staff is wonderful and tries to help in any way they can. They also post allergen information and have designated vegan/vegetarian areas! The pub is newly remodeled and reopened and it is amazing! It's perfect for comfort food and becomes a pizza shop during night hours. The garlic knots are to die for! My personal favorite is the Grind! They make a wonderful strawberry lemonade that is responsible for me spending most of my dining dollars there.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
The great thing about campus is that there is always something going on. There are numerous clubs that sponsor different events as well as the office of student activities. Additionally, we often host speakers in many different fields. Our guests are not always academic. We have had a hypnotist, a mentalist, a comedian, and many other fun guests on campus. There are also dances and class activities. We also have many traditions on campus such as May Day and Late Night Breakfast.
