Good reviews
Overall 4.8
Beautiful location, beautiful buildings and facilities, really personable classes with great faculty and challenging levels of difficulty. Strong encouragement to do internships and lots of clubs to join and events to go to. Very diverse for a private college, especially such a small one. Lots of people from big cities and international countries.

Wells didn't change me as a person, it made me the person I want to be.

I just started at Wells in the Fall of 2016. So far, I am extremely happy with my expierience here. The campus is gorgeous, and there is an unpretentious atmosphere here. Mind you, the food is not wonderful, but I have survived thus far, so who am I to complain? Come to Wells, if you're up for a challenging curriculum and amazing faculty.

PLEASE reconsider if you are applying, admissions misleads!!! I didn't and I so regret it. The professors are good for the most part but everything else is bad. The food is disgusting - d hall was almost shut down for code violations. Dorms are old and filthy, RAs don't do their jobs, students are despicable, no clubs, miserable experience!!!

DO NOT COME HERE. If your a high schooler looking at Wells, drop it from your list right now. Wells has terrible food(#3 worst in the Country), also admissions will lie too you and there are barley any clubs or student life. The academics are really good but there are other colleges in the area that are better.
Overall 1.9
Poor administration. Very little opportunities of inferior quality. Mostly weak, not very ambitious students with big gaps in their previous education, which makes group projects a tedious experience if you happen to be aiming higher. Library is open for a surprisingly limited time. Dirty plates in the dining hall. Very noisy dorms.
