And while there are only 79 women's colleges in the United States, women's colleges get consistently high ratings. Clearly, coed is the second best option for women in higher education. I hope you test that idea as you learn about Wells today. By carefully exploring all our system has to offer, a student can find the right educational environment for him or for her, an environment that offers a balance of challenge and support in and out of the classroom. When a woman enrolls at Wells, or any other women's college, she joins a nurturing and supportive community.
Women come first in the classroom, in student organizations, and on the athletic field.
They are provided with time, space, and academic opportunities to define themselves and to grow. I think many of you here today think Wells might be a good environment for you, and I hope I've helped you learn a little more about our distinctiveness. Welcome to Wells. Comments and questions are most welcome.
