The Wells College campus (campus map) is located in Aurora, New York, a picturesque village on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake, the longest of the state's famous Finger Lakes. The campus itself is just the way you would imagine a classic American college: ivy covered, rolling lawns, a Romanesque belltower. 

Wells is ½ hour from Auburn and Ithaca, NY (home of Cornell University); one hour from Syracuse and Rochester, NY; and five hours from New York City (area map). 

World renowned MacKenzie-Childs Ltd., creators of hand produced pottery, enamelware, glass, textiles and home furnishings, is located two miles north of Wells College.
