Wellesley College Top Questions

Everyone is a lesbian or at least bisexual. (not true, just because we go to an all girls school does not mean everyone is gay) Girls either do nothing but study or argue. Everyone is a "that girl" who can't help but raise their hands all the time in class and proceed to talk about themselves, answer rhetorical questions, or repeat what someone else already said. Girls from an all girl's school have no standards in men and are just waiting for a hook-up. Everyone is a Hilary Clinton supporter. Mona Lisa's smile was an accurate representation of the college and its campus. (not) We're so driven to do better than everyone else that we don't know how to take care of ourselves and always take on too much. (this one is somewhat true, we have to make a conscious effort to combat this instinct)

We are basically supposed to be hairy-legged lesbians that walk around in our underwear.

All Wellesley Girls are Rich, White and Preppy. The girls are very competitive. Radical Feminists.

There's two stereotypes of Wellesley girls: 1.)Mona Lisa Smile Wellesley girls: proper with rich parents, and 2.) Lesbian feminists.

All Wellesley girls are either stuck up, liberal, lesbian, butches or know-it all, liberal, bitches.

People either think that we're boy-crazy or man-haters.

Well, to begin with there is Wendy Wellesley, the stereotypical Wellesley woman. Yes, that is correct, woman. You will be corrected if you say "all girl's school" because it is an "all women's college." Wendy Wellesley wears pearls and looks perfect at all times. She is brilliant at everything, especially Shakespeare and neuroscience. On weekends she spends time getting smashed with her smashing boyfriend Henry Harvard, but on the side she enjoys nerdy Michael MIT. If she is feeling particularly naughty she will go for a one night stand with Barry Berklee, who plays guitar. Although, she will ignore texts from those silly Babson and Olin boys. That, is the honest truth about the stereotypical Wellesley girl.

Lesbians and girls who only study

People think that almost everyone who goes to Wellesley turns into a lesbian, and those who don't go to Harvard or M.I.T. every weekend on the "fuck truck" to try to secure a husband. Outsiders sometimes ask me if it really is a "finishing school" like in Mona Lisa Smile.

That the students are competitive, Wellesley is a bubble.

There are none, everyone knows that Wellesley is an amazing place full of brilliant, diverse women

That everyone is gay, that everyone is really opinionated in the bad kind of way

There are a lot of stereotypes about Wellesley girls being stuck up, others about us being man-hating lesbians.

We are very driven towards achieving our goals. We worry about grades a lot. We are very emotional.

Dyke school Overachievers Catty

I think a lot of people have a negative attitude toward the all women's aspect of the college.

1. Everyone who goes to Wellesley is lesbian/bi 2. Wellesley girls are "easy' 3. Wellesley girls want to marry Harvard/MIT boys 4. People who go to Wellesley are anal about EVERYTHING.

Some stereotypes: wellesley girls are dykes, are constantly studying, not your typical 'cool' type students, some wellesley girls are really slutty and are off to MIT/Harvard every weekend to try and hook up with some guy.

Ultra Competitive, Feminist, Liberal, Lesbian, Stuck Up, Uptight

Wellesley students are perceived as being all work and no play. Their noses are constantly in the books and they don't know how to have any fun. Another stereotype is that the women who attend this college are all men-haters and that majority of this campus is composed of lesbians.
