Wellesley College
Wellesley College, founded in 1870, is one of the Seven Sisters women's colleges and has remained women's-only even as several of its sister institutions went coeducational, a deliberate choice the college has maintained on the premise that a single-sex environment produces disproportionate numbers of women in leadership roles. The college's alumnae include Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, and a long list of other prominent political and business leaders, and Wellesley is frequently cited as having produced more women in significant leadership positions, relative to its size, than almost any other American institution. Wellesley's campus, built around Lake Waban, is considered one of the most beautiful in the country, and the school's small size and academic rigor let it maintain close faculty mentorship relationships that the college credits as central to its graduates' career outcomes. As part of the Boston-area academic consortium and with a formal cross-registration exchange with MIT, Wellesley students can take classes and access resources well beyond the college's own campus, combining the intimacy of a small women's college with access to one of the country's top research universities.
VS
Williams College
Williams College, founded in 1793 through the estate of Ephraim Williams, a colonial military officer killed in the French and Indian War, is consistently ranked as the number one liberal arts college in the country by US News & World Report, a distinction it has held more often than any other school since the rankings began. The college's "tutorial" system, in which small groups of two students meet weekly with a professor to debate and critique each other's work directly, is modeled on Oxford and Cambridge's teaching methods and gives Williams students a level of direct faculty engagement uncommon even among other elite liberal arts colleges. Williams's remote location in the Berkshires, in the small town of Williamstown, has fostered an unusually self-contained and close-knit residential campus culture, and the school's "Purple Bubble" nickname reflects both its physical isolation and the intensity of the community that forms within it. The college's endowment per student ranks among the very highest of any undergraduate institution in the country, funding need-blind admission and full-need financial aid, and its combination of top-ranked academics, small size, and financial resources has made it the benchmark liberal arts college nationally.
