Do not bring too many clothes.
Make sure the major you want to pursue will workout here at Wells.
Buy your books online, because the book school is a rip off.
Bring a car if you have, but don't buy one if not, you will be able to get around.
Prepare for the weather it gets cold around mid October.
Take classes before hand at your community college, the credit will help lessen the work load.

I recommend that all prospective students visit the campus because it is impossible to not fall in love with it once you are here.
Victoria from Aurora, NY
The other students here were so helpful. If I needed anything, I asked my RA. There are places to go to have papers edited, to get help with writing, and there is always something going on.

Tour. Wells can look pretty boring from websites and reviews, but one step on campus and you will see that Wells isn't your typical run of the mill college.
