Wellesley College
Registered in 1870 by the local squire Durant couple, the private university is a special institution of higher learning located in Wesley, a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, USA, that only admits female students and does not admit male students, so it is also called Wellesley Women's College.

It is not strictly a "girls' school", although the most beautiful flower in Bryn Mawr is the flower of youth - those girls, but they are never willing to admit that they are "elegant". "Everyone here is a super woman." A girl said so proudly. In high school, students are highly competitive students, perfectionists, and have a strong desire for success. Here, the "goddess" is the biggest praise for a person. Some people joke that this college gives so many options to girls that even the most conservative girls have become a feminist.
